It's possible to add a HTML title attribute to an input tag like so: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { title = "Customer name" }) Is there a similar helper for static text?

How can I add HTML attributes so that I get a span tag rendered like this: <span title="Customer name">ABC</span> Custom html helper is probably the neatest solution. public static MvcHtmlString SpanFor<TModel, TProperty>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> helper, Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression, object htmlAttributes =

I'm using MVC3 and have a simple helper that draws a box with some text and icons inside for a status application. A snippet: @helper Tile(string ID) { <div class="front defaulttile"> <div class="notifybar" id="NotifyBarID" > <img alt="" src="@Url.Content("~/Images/img.jpg")" style="display: inline; margin-right: 5px;" /> <p class="topstatusbartext" id="NotifyBarTextID" >Status bar text</p> </div> etc...

Could somebody show me how you would go about creating a mock HTML Helper with Moq? This article has a link to an article claiming to describe this, but following the link only returns an ASP.NET Runtime Error [edit] I asked a more specific question related to the same subject here , but it hasn't gotten any responses. I figured it was too specific, so I thought I could get a more general answer to a more general question and modify it to meet my requirements. Thanks What you can do is this: HtmlHelper helper = null; helper.YourHelperMethod(); No need to mock anything. Works brilliant for me.
