additionalViewData ignored
Closed this issue · 2 comments
When I use @Html.EditorFor(expression, additionalViewData) the additionalViewData that I pass gets dropped. Is there a way for that to trickle down through the templates? For example, I would like to set the autofocus attribute on one of my fields.
Thanks!
Interesting, I'll look into this
jfoshee,
The additionalViewData parameter on @Html.EditorFor is not intended for
adding attributes like autofocus, class, title, etc. Yes this is a bit
annoying but I assume one of the reasons MVC is implemented in this manner
is that the result of EditorFor() may not be a single element. In the
interest of staying consistent with the ASP.NET MVC framework I don't want
to write some large translation code to shift viewData into attributes, but
of course you could in your project and still use Html5MvcTemplates for the
final type resolution.
