ASP.NET MVC SelectList: How do I set class name and other attributes?

How can I set a select class and other attributes eg:events through the SelectList object?

If this cannot be done, what are the best practices in populating a select input (dropdownlist) ie should I just loop through the items and render the <option> tags

I guess events should be bound to the controls in jquery for instance, but I do need the class forto do this.

The htmlAttributes parameter should take an anonymous type initialised like this :

new {@class="some-css-class"}
