Question

Because i want to set a Extender (Calendar from the AJAX Controls toolkit) on a textbox,
I have to change the code from

<%= Html.TextBox("name") %> 

to

<asp:TextBox ...>

But how can i bind the attribute “name” on the element?

Thank you

Have you tried using the jQuery DatePicker? It’s much more friendly with MVC than the standard ASP controls and related extenders.

<%= Html.TextBox( "name" ) %>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
       $('[name=name]').datepicker();
    });
</script>
