How to access server controls like a textbox from an external .js file using J-query?

Question

I need to change the height of a textbox using J-query. I need to write this code in an external .js file. How do I access textbox height in J-query in the external .js file?

Answer 1

You can access it the same way in the inline code:

$('#<%=mycontrol.ClientID%>')

Answer 2

It doesn't matter that your js is in an external file, you'd write it the same way inline or external.

If the textbox has an ID you can use:

$("#Textbox1").height();
