I want to set the value of my input text using jquery. I have tried by doing this :
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.ID )
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.ID)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ID)
</div>
and jquery syntax :
$("#ID").val(data.ID);
But it is not working. I have tried the same jquery code with this :
<input type="text" id="ID" />
This approach is working , but I don't know why @Html.EditorFor is not working with jquery .Thanks in advance
You're better off using the TextBoxFor method as it allows you to change the id and class of the element directly whereas EditorFor doesn't unless you create a custom edit state for it (using EditorTemplate).
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ID, new { id = "ID" })
I believe @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ID)
will set the name attribute as that is what mvc depends upon to do its model binding so if the above is not to your liking you can perhaps use the name as a selector.
You can add the @id
, @class
, etc on EditorFor
as follows:
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.ID, new {htmlAttributes = new {@id="someid"}})
