Hi, I am using the HtmlHelper to create a checkbox in my view like so:
<%= Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.SeatOnly, new { checked = "checked" })%>
However, an error is being thrown as checked is a reserved keyword. I have found a couple of people saying that you must use the 'reserved word prefix' and simply put an uderscore in front of the attribute like so:
<%= Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.SeatOnly, new { _checked = "checked" })%>
This does not generate an error but in the generated html the attribute is actually '_checked' which means it doesn't work (if I use firebug and remove the underscore the attribute then takes effect).
Does anyone know a way around this while still using CheckBoxFor
?
Thanks
