  As ignatandrei asked, is it coming through into the HTML output?

  Yes, when I use for testing:
  

  <input type="submit" name="testReportTitle" value= <%: Model.Report.Title %> />

  
  

  The button only showed the words before space.

  That should be

  <input type="submit" name="testReportTitle" value="<%: Model.Report.Title %>" /> 

  I think it's as simple as you haven't put quotes around your value property

  WOW, yes, that's the problem.

  Thanks

  I don't quite understand why I need the double quotes?

  <%: Model.Report.Title %> is already a string.

  Just more:

  Why it works?

  <select name="NameDropDown">

    <% foreach(var nameObject in Model.NameList)

      { %>

        <option value = <%: nameObject.NameCode %> > <%: nameObject.Fullname %> </option>

    <% }

  %>

  </select>

  Because it's a property of your tag, there needs to be a defined beginning and end, without quotes it just views the first word as your property value

  In terms of

  <select name="NameDropDown">

    <% foreach(var nameObject in Model.NameList)

      { %>

        <option value = <%: nameObject.NameCode %> > <%: nameObject.Fullname %> </option>

    <% }

  %>

  The same logic applies to the value property, but the nameObject.Fullname doesn't require quotes because it's between two tags :)
