Re: Framework-generated ID woes

Darn it. No way to specify the ID prefix? Seems dangerous to modify
this ClientID property (if that's even possible, haven't looked...)

Hi

I have lots of controls on my ASP.NET 2.0 page, some implementing
INamingContainer, others just <asp:button>s and so on.

The eternal lament: I need to interact with these controls on the
client-side, but of course I can't guarantee that the IDs generated by
the Framework will be consistent (like
"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_LoadPreviousButton").

Is there a way to tell the Framework what prefix you'd like to use for
your controls' IDs? Or do I have to resort to injecting some JavaScript
containing the ID into the page (which is rather ugly I think). If so,
how do I actually get the fully-qualified name of the control?

Thanks, Mark
