Hi,

I have a javascript that needs to reference a server control (Listbox1) to
check if an item is selected but the server controls are renamed
'_ctl0:mainbody:Listbox1' when displayed in a masterpage. Unfortunately the
script needs to run whilst displayed in a number of different areas on the
masterpage.

Is there any way of getting the altered client side control ID at runtime?

Thanks in advance.

If you put your (html)controls within a form, then assign the name property,
you can access them from javascript as document.formname.controlname.value

This works kind of indepently from the id attribute ASP.NET uses to manage
controls.
