Question

Newbie question: MVC4

I have a simple editor (simple text):

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.MyField)
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.MyCopyField)

When the user leaves the MyField editor I want the editor of the MyCopyField to have the same text.

How do I paint an ID onto each editor so that I can do this in jQuery?

Answer 1

If MyField is a string, EditorFor will create a textbox using the name of the field as the ID and name:

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

Then you can just use jquery to copy the text.

simple jquery:

$('#MyField').focusout(function ()
{
      $('#MyCopyField').val($(this).val());                      
});
