Can I stop .NET eating IDs?

Question

I\'m an Information Architect and JavaScript developer by trade nowadays, but recently I\'ve been getting back into back-end coding again. And, whilst trying to get an HTML

Answer 1

What I usually do is create a general function that receives the name of the field. It adds the usual "asp.net" prefix and returns the object.

var elemPrefix = 'ctl00-ContentPlaceHolder-'; //replace the dashes for underscores

var o = function(name)
{    
    return document.getElementById(elemPrefix + name)
}

With that you can use this kind of calls in jQuery

$(o('buttonId')).bind('click', function() { alert('hi); });
