I'm new to MVC and i've been doing Shannon's tutorial http://shazwazza.com/post/Umbraco-v5-Surface-Controller-Forms.aspx. The form works well and validates etc however, I'd like to use some custom attributes / type for my inputs to take advantage of the new HTML5 semantics.
something like: @Html.EditorFor(x => someModel.Email, new {@type="number", @class = "testModel", @maxlength = "250", @aria_label="this is a test",@role="email"})
When i try to add properties I get the error below. Do I need to add a custom helper or something like that? Or can someone recommend another approach?
Thanks in advance.

Surface form with HTML5 semantic elements
Hi There,

Without reading too much into this just yet, isn't it just that your arguments are in the wrong order to align with the parameters of 'EditorFor'?
@Html.EditorFor(x => model, "MyTestForm", new { })Hi There,
I managed to solve it like this:
@Html.LabelFor(model => someModel.Email): @Html.TextBoxFor(x => someModel.Email, new {type="email", @class = "testModel", @maxlength = "250", @aria_label="this is a test",@role="email"})
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
