Awe.TextBoxFor - new strange behavior in 4.9

the validation is not done by textbox, it's defined by the server side data annotations on the viewmodel and enforced in the controller or on the client side by jquery.validate plugin; now the textbox has a format func option which if you're using means what is being displayed and the actual value may differ; you can also try using using a simple Html.Textbox instead and see if you get the same problem

not the validation causes this behavior. The format the Awe.TextBoxFor is displaying text is wrong. Html.TextBox displays the value in right form MM.YYYY

using the code you've provided I can't get any errors, anything wrong; you could try to create a mini demo of the problem http://aspnetawesome.com/learn/mvc/CommonProblems#Isolate-the-problem

took the latest demo and modified Controller for TextBoxDemo
        public ActionResult Index()
            {
                TextBoxDemoInput tbi = new TextBoxDemoInput();
                tbi.Name = "12.2010";
                return View(tbi);
            }

output is 12,2010 not 12.2010

Seems to be a problem with german culture. When I switch region to England the format is displaying in MM.YYYY, when i switch to german MM,YYYY - it's a string variable !!!

same code in 4.7 works ! Also with german region settings

4.7 textbox is almost the same as using Html.Textbox(.., new { placeholder = "text" })

ok, it's a bug, the decimal separator gets replaced regardless if it's numeric or not, should be replaced only when it's numeric; will let you know, until then you can use a simple textbox

ok thanks! I give a try with the old assembly. It's a little bit urgent, have deployment for test tomorrow :)

at 17 Nov 2015 TT Tom

if you're not using the numeric extension you could just use Html.Textbox and for placeholder set htmlattributes new { placeholder = "text" }

Perfect! Thank you!
