Autofocus on EditorFor

Question

I would like to autofocus on an editorfor in my application, but I can\'t seem to do that. I have successfully used autofocus on a textbox, but I would like to use an editor

Answer 1

Using .Net Framework 4.5 and MVC 5, this works for me:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Description, new {
    htmlAttributes = new {
        @class = "form-control",
        autofocus = true
    }
})
