ASP MVC give EditorFor element id/name

Question

I need to specify an @Html.EditorFor view element in some jQuery code I'm using (datepicker). Is it possible to give a specific EditorFor element a name or id?

    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.DateTaken)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DateTaken)
    </div>

I am assuming that your datepicker is being used on a text field? Also assuming that by 'EditorMessageFor,' you mean EditorFor.

If both of my assumptions are correct, you can use TextBoxFor instead, like so:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.DateTaken, new { id = "MyCssId" })

Failing that, you'd have to create a custom editor template. There's a comprehensive guide to doing just that here.
