Question

I tried this as a simple test:

@functions {
 private MvcHtmlString helloWorld()
 {
    return Html.EditorFor(m => m.Work.Description);
 }
}
<script type="text/javascript">console.log(@helloWorld().ToString());</script>

However, the generated html that shows up is in the form of

<input class="text-box single-line" id="Work_Description"
name="Work.Description" type="text" value="" />

How can return a string which is the form of

<input class="test-box single-line" id="Work_Description" name="Work.Description"
type="text" value="" />

Answer 1

Use @Html.Raw. Be aware that if helloWorld().ToString() contains dangerous code, it could be a security problem.

<script type="text/javascript">console.log(@Html.Raw(helloWorld().ToString()));</script>
