I did a little poking around with Reflector, and I noticed that the MVC extension methods for Input fields all use an InputHelper class, which in turn uses a TagBuilder class.
The problem with your original code is that you are outputting tags at a time when MVC is expecting literal html output. In other words, it's not processing these tags.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
