Required value in Html.TextBoxFor

Question

I need to put the value of a TextBox required like this :

<td>@Html.TextBoxFor(m =>(m.Code), new { @required  = "required"})</td>

It works. But if i set a default value to the TextBox

<td>@Html.TextBoxFor(m =>(m.Code), new { @Value = @Model.Code, @required  = "required"})</td>

An empty value becomes accepted despite the generation of this Html code

<td><input id="Code" name="Code" required="required" type="text" value="fff       "></td>

1. What is the source of this problem?
2. How can i fix it?

Answer 1

I don't know why but when i delete the space between = and @

<td>@Html.TextBoxFor(m =>(m.Code), new { @Value [email protected], @required  = "required"})</td>

it works
