ClientID's

[adda]

Hi,

Is there a way to stop ASP.NET from rendering ID dynamically?

In other words, to stop ctl00_ctl00_myTextbox format, and just render as
'myTextbox'?

Thanks
Chris

ClientID is your friend. The syntax you observe is made for a good purpose
of ensuring uniqueness of ids on client side. What is the issue you want to
resolve by eliminating client ids?

Your best bet is to explain the overall goal. Have you tried to pass the
ClientID from the server to the client or to use "this" client side ?

AFAIK this is not possible and even if it was, this is such an ASP.NET basic
infrastructure feature (whose goal is to avoid name collisions) that I would
really double check I want to work against rather than with that...

ClientID is absolutely essential to the functioning of ASP.NET, specifically
to guarantee uniqueness of client-side object IDs - what problem(s) are you
having with this...?

Hi Chris

I agree with my last speakers.
But in some cases its more advantageous to have no output of these
ids.

Two ways (the one on the bottom is prefered) to avoid the rendering
of these ids can you find on my blog.
