Mark S. is definitely on the right track. If you want to get a professional looking email address, Id recommend buying your name domain name, like or

If its common it might be difficult to get, however, be creative and you can usually find something.

This seems all well and good, but given that one needs to specify the id by name versus by class object, it makes it tedious to have to manually type in the object name every time.
Yea, I could create a 'variable' that uses this method to 'grab' the id, but then if I change the name on the webform, I gotta remember to go change the name in the file.

the above solution means I have to "remember" and "retype" the ID every time I care to use it; e.g. no real "intellisense" ability, and I hafta remember to type double and single-quotes; talk about freaked-out debugging nightmares.

$(":asp('ddlCarColor')").show();
What I'm after is this:

$($$.ddlCarColor).show();

This is similar to a technique Randy Strahl came up with, but the JS has to be in the page, and can't be used externally.

Until object-orientedness is impleneted, using aspx with .js simply still sucks.

function SelectByID(type, endPart)
{
return element = $(type + "[id$=" + endPart + "]");
}

seemed to do the trick for me,
also using _ as leading in the endpart to avoid mismacthes.

Thanks for this. I think you should alter it though, so that either the entire string has to match, or it has to end with an underscore followed by the search term. Otherwise it can match other elements which end in the same string.
