Does anyone know how to pass html attributes like "data-date" to the Html.TextBox()??
It is used from the bootstrap datepicker.
Is there a way around it?
@Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.DateFrom, new { @class = "small", type = "date", "data-date"="12-02-2012" })
You have to use underscore instead of '-'.
So what you're after would go something like this:
@Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.DateFrom, new { @class = "small", @type = "date", @data_date="12-02-2012" })
Use:
new Dictionary<string, object> { { "class", "small" }, {"type", "date"} { "data-date", "12-02-2012" } }
instead of:
new { @class = "small", type = "date", "data-date"="12-02-2012" }
I was trying to add the date picker to the Html helper using bootstrap. rudeovski ze bear's answer made it easier.
This is how it worked for me.
@Html.TextBox("startdate", null
, new {@class = "type", @type = "date", @data_date="12-02-2012" })
