Question

Answer 1

You can get real control's id with ClientID property and use OnClientClick for button which you can create during data binding.

Simple example:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" ImageUrl="images/cal.gif" />

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     ImageButton1.OnClientClick = "openCalendar(" + TextBox1.ClientID + ", " + X.ToString() + ", " + Y.ToString() + ");return false;";
}

Answer 2

Just use following example

<script type="text/javascript">
    var txtNameID = '<%= txtUsername.ClientID %>';
</script>

Answer 3

I'm not sure what ID you really want to find, where the textbox/submit button is located(in gridview?) and why you need client script(perhaps there is a better way). Please supply some code.

You can get the javascript objects with DOM f.e. with nextSibling. So you even dont need an ID.
