Passing ASP.NET client IDs in to a javascript function

Question

I need to pass a client ID to a Javascript function in the onblur event of an ASP.net control event like this:

OnBlur=\"javascript:setBackground(this, \'<         


        

Answer 1

You could either change the asp.net control to standard html element (i.e., without runat="server")

or see this Stack Overflow answer:

or use jquery
