    Replacing characters in html string using razor

    I can't get this line to produce correctly in HTML

    linkhtml = @Model.bodyText + "<a href=\"" + @Model.downloadLink.First.File + "\" class=pdficon target=_blank><img src='/images/pdf.gif' /></a>";

    It keeps dropping the / on the img tag, so it doesn't close it.

    This is the output:

    <a class="pdficon" target="_blank" href="mypdf.pdf">
   <img src="/images/pdf.gif">
</a>

    Hi Pete - According to my experience, the output is correct, because you can't see img closing tag "</img>" or </> in the source.

    @Sahan that's not quite true. If Pete is trying to write valid xhtml output then the <img> tag needs to be closed. If he's using html5 it's not a big deal though. However I still prefer the stricter syntax closing tags like in xhtml.

    @Pete Don't know if you perhaps need to escape the / sign?

    You should be able to solve this by using html.raw or just merge the strings inside a codeblock

    @{

    var myString = "<a href=\""+Model.downloadLink.First.File+ \"" class=pdficon target=_blank><img src='/images/pdf.gif' /></a>";

    }


    Visit some link right here @myString and continue on

    Also in your example your \ is located 1 step to late after file url, i would also recommend using " around class and target including src of the img.
