    How to get a clean id or name in user control?

    Hi All. I am using latest umbraco. I created a macro with user control. inside my user control, I have a hidden field like :

    <input id="cartXML" type="hidden" name = "cartXML" runat="server"/>

    But afterI bind this user control into umbraco and view the web page source code, it changed the my id and name. like:

     <input name="ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderDefault$MainContent$shoppingCart_7$cartXML" type="hidden" id="ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderDefault_MainContent_shoppingCart_7_cartXML" />

     

    How do I avoid that?

    Cheers

    Jing

    You can't, it's the nature of asp.net (unless you're asp.net 4.0). You can still address your control in your codebehind as cartXML!

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regrads,

    If you use jquery, you can add class and select by it, or take a look at http://www.west-wind.com/Weblog/posts/42319.aspx

    .NET will also retain a .ClientID property for the control.
