In ASP.MVC 3, how do I specify the columns and rows for a multiline EditorFor
(textarea)? I am using [UIHint("MultilineText")]
, but can't find any documentation on how to add attributes for the text area.
Desired HTML:
<textarea cols="40" rows="10"></textarea>
Relevant Part of my MVC 3 Model:
[UIHint("MultilineText")]
public string Description { get; set; }
Relevant Part of my Razor cshtml:
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Description)
</div>
What I'm getting in View Source:
<div class="editor-field">
<textarea class="text-box multi-line" id="Description" name="Description"></textarea>
</div>
How do I set rows and columns?
Use TextAreaFor
@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Description, new { @class = "whatever-class", @cols = 80, @rows = 10 })
or use style for multi-line
class.
You could also write EditorTemplate for this.
