How do I make my text box only take numbers?

Question

I want to set it so that you can only input values in the textbox, plain and simple. But the picture shows the result I get. Any idea what the problem is? I had one text box set up like this a few months back so I know that something in the lines if this should work.

Html code:

if (Roles.IsUserInRole(WebSecurity.CurrentUserName, "Admin"))
{
    @:<p><b>Customer ID:</b> @Html.TextBox("SearchString2", new {@type="number"})</p>
}

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your using the wrong overload of Html.TextBox() ( this one ) where the second parameter is the value to display. You need to use this one

@Html.TextBox("SearchString2", null, new { @type="number" })
