Defining ID for HTML element using Razor syntax

Question

I have written this:

@Html.TextBox("PhoneAdmin", new { id = "phone" })

My goal was to have the id of "phone" for this textbox because a jQuery plugin I downloaded to use is using that ID as a masked text box to format phone numbers.

But it is not working, if I go to "Inspect" on it, I will see this:

<input id="PhoneAdmin" name="PhoneAdmin" type="text" value="{ id = phone }">

and it shows up like this in the browser:

What did I do wrong?

sorry, no need for "@", just check the answer. I'll open project and find a sample :D — ermir

here is what I did somewhere I needed this:

@Html.ActionLink(task.Name, "Details", new { id = task.Id })

you just must find the correct constructor.

and here is what you want:

@Html.TextBox("PhoneAdmin", "+355699abc",new {id="phone" })

Ok that's what I should have written: @Html.TextBox("PhoneAdmin", null ,new { id = "phone" }) your comment about using the the right constructor helped.
