No, there isn't a way to do it with the framework.

Use Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock to place the javascript in the page,
technically you're still writing it on the server. :-) Use the ID's as
references, since they are the same on the client side as they are on
the server side.

As for a pointer for info, use msdn. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library
is a good place to start. Under the Web Development tree....

Web Development->HTML and Dynamic HTML->SDK Documentation->Reference
will have everything that you basically need. There's an overview of
all things that appear in the HTML DOM, all properties, methods, and
yada. There is also some example scripting, but javascript is very
similar to typical server-side programming.
