ContentPlaceHolder Control Names

Scott M. - 01 Feb 2008 02:57 GMT
I'm noticing that what using a MasterPage with a ContentPlaceHolder that the
content page's controls don't render with the exact same name/id as I'm
giving them at design time.  This is causing problems with client-side
scripts that I wish to write.

What can I do to ensure that the name I give the control is the name it
winds up rendering with?
Steven Cheng[MSFT] - 01 Feb 2008 06:11 GMT
Hi Scott,

As for the control name get changed issue you mentioned, it is actually due
to the ASP.NET's NamingContainer which will mangle the actual ID of any sub
controls inside it. ContentPlaceHolder is such a NamingContainer so that it
will mangle the ID of sub controls in it(so as to avoid ID conflicting).

In ASP.NET, you can use the "ClientID" of control to get the identity that
will render at client-side. You can embed it in to your script.
