Is there a valid reason why you do not want it to generate this?

You can always find the actual control of the ID by doing FindControl

If you really need to generate your own control ids, you could probably
do it by hooking into and overriding the control generation process in
the page lifecycle, might be a little more trouble than its worth.

Sorry I couldnt provide more info, I've never had to do this, I'm
actually interested to see if it is possible to do. Please let me know
what you find.

Hope that helps!

There's not much you can do about this, and it makes writing
client-side script a bit more painful that it should be. I usually end
up working around it with a bunch of declarations such as:

var txtUsername = '<%=txtUsername.ClientID%>';
var hdPageIndex = '<%=hdPageIndex.ClientID%>';

This works for the basic case, and will get you most of the way there.
For repeating controls inside a parent, you can spit out the ClientID
for the container control, then put together a child id with some text
concatenation.

Good luck!
