This is my code:
Model:
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Text)]
[Display(Name = "Your company's name")]
public string CompanyName { get; set; }
View:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CompanyName, new { @class = "account-input", @placeholder = @Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.CompanyName), @id = "companyname" })
It will be rendered like this:
Your company's name
html output:
<input class="account-input" data-val="true" data-val-required="The Your company's name field is required." id="companyname" name="CompanyName" placeholder="Your company&#39;s name" type="text" value="">
It should be look like this:
Your company's name
Why is the text does not render correctly and how can I prevent this?
I already tried this:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CompanyName, new { @class = "account-input", @placeholder = @Html.Raw(@Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.CompanyName)), @id = "companyname" })
and this
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CompanyName, new { @class = "account-input", @placeholder = @Html.Encode(@Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.CompanyName)), @id = "companyname" })
placeholder
is encoding as:Your Company&#39;s name
