When trying to use this 

@Html.DisplayFor(m => m.someField, new { htmlAttributes = "class = someclass" })

the field, when rendered does not contain class someclass. I supposed its because its just writing out the text and there isn't a span element or anything to set the class on.

I'm really looking to set the id so that I can update it via js later on.

  • DisplayFor(), does not have any HTML attributes, thus u can't do it. Instead there are other ways of rendering the data inside a DIV/SPAN with ur class.. – Developer Oct 16 '12 at 11:15
  • I think it should be @Html.DisplayFor(m => m.someField, new {@class="someClass"}) – Michel Oct 16 '12 at 11:30

This solution worked for me (for example, when model is Url): Razor view to DisplayFor DataType.Url that opens in new window

"You could override the default template by adding a file in ..."
