What is best method to find a ASP.Net control using jQuery?

Question

In implementing my first significant script using jquery I needed to find a specific web-control on the page. Since I work with DotNetNuke, there is no guaranteeing the control

Answer 1

$("#<%= cboPanes.ClientID %>")

This will dynamically inject the DOM ID of the control. Of course, this means your JS has to be in an ASPX file, not in an external JS file.
