Is it possible to give my HtmlHelper textbox an id ?

Is it possible to give my HtmlHelper textbox an id ? For instance like 

<input type="submit" id="someid" />

In this case it would be for Html.Textbox

The reason I am asking this is because I want to use this info in a javascript function and get the value like this

(document.getElementById('someid').value)

Suggestions anyone ?

Instead of giving the textbox an id, you can ask ASP.NET MVC to tell you what it is, as per the answers in this question.

As Tommy said, The element will be created with the same name as of the Property Id. But you can override it by using this Overload

 @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.FirstName, new {@id="myNewId" })

This will create an input element with an Id "myNewId" . But the name stays same as the property Name.

You can specify some metadata when creating the link on the server.

[C#]

    <%= Html.ActionLink(“Edit Record”, “Edit”, new {Id=3})

[VB]

    <%= Html.ActionLink(“Edit Record”, “Edit”, New With {.Id=3})%>

If using the Html.TextboxFor() method, @Html.TextboxFor(model=>model.Property);, your textbox will have an id with the name of the property. My example above would create an HTML tag of

<input type="text" id="Property" name="Property"/>
