Sometimes, APS.NET appends the Naming Container ID to the IDs of controls, and in instances where the ClientID of a control you want is not available, you can use this script to find the element you want by similar id. Dirty, but works most of the time for me.</p> Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:37:25 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/28252/getelementbysimilarid
