How to clear textboxes defined with MVC HTML helpers

Question

I can\'t figure out how to do this very simple thing: My page contains a set of textboxes that a user can fill out to add an item to a list. Then the item shows up in a drop

Answer 1

This is working for me on an MVC3 site log on page.

ModelState.Clear();
model.UserName = string.Empty;
model.Password = string.Empty;
ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect.");

This will clear the login textboxes used for password and username, and keep any model errors.
