how to prevent html input id duplication on asp.net mvc 3 when a model contains multiple elements

Question

I have a view that allows the user to inset multiple elements of the same type.

 @foreach (var gm in Model)
    {

Rather than using TextBoxFor, just use the TextBox method, and you can specify the name you want it to use. Something like this should work, I think:

 @foreach (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
    {
        var gm = Model[i];
        
                @Html.TextBox("gm.name" + i, gm.name, new {id = "gm_name" + i})
        
    }
