ASP.NET List Item IDs

Question

The <li> tags generated by ASP.NET when I programatically add ListItems to my ListBox control do not have ID attributes. Is there any way that I can get them to have IDs so that I can get references to the elements from Javascript?

Answer 1

Use the ListItem's attribute collection, like this...

ListItem item = new ListItem();
item.Attributes.Add("id", "myId");
myList.Items.Add(item);
