asp.net-mvc How to change width Html.TextBox

Question

how do you change the width of a textbox in an asp.net-mvc View

i want to have these fields side by side and the state textbox much shorter width

Answer 1

css

.yourcssclassname{width:50px;}

html

<%= Html.TextBox("city", null, new{@class="yourcssclassname"})%>

that should do it... you could also obviously send along a style attribute, but css classes are a better path to choose.

string.Empty represents the default value.

Edit: see tvanfosson's post

fixed answer so it solves the problems mentioned in the comments.
