title: Adding an icon to a textbox in mvc5
body: <p>I'm currently trying to add an icon to a text box in mvc5. I'm quite new to asp.net and I can't figure out how to do it. I would usually just use <code>&lt;i class="fa fa-icon"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</code>.  </p>
  
  <p>Within the input area, however I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.TextboxFor(m=&gt; m.EmailAddress, new {@placeholder = "Email Address"})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
