How can I stop 'id' tags from being automatically inserted in my code?

Question

I have created a partial view, the element in the partial view looks like this (Razor Code): @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.OtherReferenceNumber,new { @data_slmgui_name= "otherReferenceNumber", @style = "width: 45%" }) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.OtherReferenceNumber) I don't want to use id's (on input tags). However, when I view the page source, the id attribute appears for the element even though I did not add it. Can any one please explain to me why this appears, and how I can make it stop appearing?

Answer 1

They are automatically generated by Asp.net Mvc to get rid of them do this @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.OtherReferenceNumber, new {id="" /*more properties*/})
