there is no easy way, as MS would have to change their code. you can avoid
controls in controls, or write modules that modify the ids.

Hi Stephane,


Thanks for posting in the community!
From your description, you found that the html source generate by the
ASP.NET web server control are not completely
validating according to the W3C's markup validating service. Also, you're
wondering some approaches to manually adjust it, yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

I've tested throught the validating service's link you provided. Yes, there
does exists some certain issues with the html source generated by the
ASP.NET web server controls. As for how to manually adjust this, I think
here is some possible approachs:
1. Create some custom controls derived from the buildin web server controls
and manually adjust the rendered output html then output as the custom
control's output. However, this will cause a large amount of works , do you
think so?

2. Since the Asp.net server controls suffer this problem, have you tried
using the HtmlControls? Since the html controls are just html elment based
and you can adjust the their source in the page's html source and the final
output won't be changed a lot from the static html.

In addtion, I think the XHTML controls Ken Cox has provided maybe also
helpful to you.
