Question

I have the following

 <label for="Forename">Forename</label>
 <%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Customer.Name.Forename) %>

the problem with this is that this is rendered as

<label for="Forename">Forename</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="Customer.Name.Forename" id="Customer_Name_Forename">

not what I want ofc.

I would like an extension to render the label correctly (i.e. with the for=”” attribute having the value of the input id), is there anything in MVC 2 that does this nativly before I go writing my own extension?

Answer 1

<%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.Customer.Name.Forename) %>
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Customer.Name.Forename) %>
