How to assign ids for textboxes added using loop in asp.net MVC

Question

I am arranging a dynamic table of textboxes using a loop. Please review the following code segment in view -

<% foreach (var item in Model.Names) { %>
<% =Html.TextBoxFor(item.Name)%>
<% } %>

The problem here is that i want their unique ids to be generated so that i could access each textbox using JS.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards Irfan

Do this instead:

<div class="editor-field">
<% for (int i = 0; i < Model.Names.Count; i++) { %>
    <%: Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Names[i].Name) %>
<% } %>
</div>

Thanks Martin, but will it generate unique ids for each textbox?

Yes, the ids will look like this: Names_0_Name, Names_1_Name, Names_2_Name and so on. And it will automatically bind back to your collection, when posting the form.
