Add a table in codebehind, getElementById it using javascript? asp.net

Question

If you create a table and add it, the ClientID property in the code behind doesn't reflect the ID in the actual file, so document.getElementById doesn't work.

How can I add a control, and be able to access it using Javascript, with only its ID (such as 'table1')?

Answer 1

You will have to render the "ClientId" out to the browser and then grab that value to be able to use it via Javascript.

Starting with .NET 4.0, this will no longer be an issue as you can change the behavior of the iNamingContainer and the id structures.

Answer 2

You could set a javascript variable on the fly to your new table's ClientID and then use its value in getElementById.
