Can ASP.NET MVC html helpers render an element without an ID attribute?

Question

Assume I want to generate an element similar to this in ASP.NET MVC 2: ``` <%= Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.FooBar)%> ``` Is there an overload or way I can get ASP.NET MVC 2 to only generate a name attribute and not an ID attribute? I can have it generate a blank id with `<%= Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.FooBar, new { id = "" })%>`, but I would like to generate the element with no ID at all, and without overriding the asp.net mvc framework.

Accepted Answer

The behavior of the HTML helpers was changed as of MVC 2 RC1 so that passing `new { id = "" }` suppresses id entirely rather than outputting an empty id attribute.
