JavaScript and Custom Controls

[Arulraja]

Hi,

I have a custom control(Child Control). Basically it renders a table.
It contains a Button Control. During the Click event of the Button
control I want to validate the User Inputs in the server side, if the
validation fails I put the value into the Hidden Input control.

Now, Onthe window_onload event I want to access the Hidden Input
field. But the problem is, even if I assign the IDto the Hidden Input
control at runtime, the HTML shows a differnt ID(it's adding the Child
control name_ctl7 soon). Because of this I am not able to use the
Javascript document.getelementbyId() function to the value.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Arul

Do not hardcode id's into your script associated with your
control. Check out this article I wrote on combining
script with custom controls:
