Question

I’m trying to use derobins wmd editor, with ASP.NET MVC 3 Project. I have managed to add the control,

<script src="@Url.Content("~/WMD/showdown.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="@Url.Content("~/WMD/wmd.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
......
        <div id="wmd-editor" class="wmd-panel">
            <div id="wmd-button-bar"></div>
            @Html.TextArea("Contents", string.Empty, new
            {
               @class = "wmd-input"
            })
            <div id="wmd-preview" class="wmd-panel"></div>
        </div>
.......
<script src="@Url.Content("~/WMD/wmd.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

but the WDM Editor is not displayed correctly (No Toolbar, and no Preview).

Please help me to fix this issue?

Based on the documentation the id’s of the elements are important:

input textarea

This is where you'll enter markdown.  id is "wmd-input".

But with your code:

 @Html.TextArea("Contents", string.Empty, new
            {
               @class = "wmd-input"
            })

You are setting the class of the textare not the id. Try this instead:

 @Html.TextArea("Contents", string.Empty, new
            {
               id = "wmd-input"
            })
