Change font size for Mvc TextboxFor

Question

I am struggling to change the font size for MVC TextBoxFor?

I can change the font size when using:

input, textarea {}

But this changes all my input size's. I also tried to then add a css class to my TextboxFor:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName, new { @Class = "Mytextarea" })

css

.Mytextarea {
    font-size: 0.85em !important;
    height: 14px !important;
    color: #333 !important;
    /*font-family: inherit;*/
    width: 300px;

}

This has had no affect.

My TextBoxFor's are huge and bulky and i have no way to change them, If possible i would like to set styling to change them all at once.

So, you start your question off asking about TextBoxFor, but your actual code references EditorFor.

When using the EditorFor extension, you need to write a custom editor template to describe the visual components. If you don't, it will use the default template, which is where "text-box single-line" is coming from.

See this answer for a quick explanation on how to build a template that you can assign to the EditorFor helper. Or just use TextBoxFor like this.

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.UserName, new { @Class = "Mytextarea" })
