I'm a programmer who uses Javascrip a lot on the client side to do validation/user interface smarts.
Is it possible for CCS to put the ControlName into the ID as well as the name.
Even better - id the control is in a form then {HTMLFormName}-{ControlName} could be better as it can ID a control withing a form if ther are dulpicate controls of the same name on the page.
Just a wish...
Dave

Second that.
For a while now, and Dave opened my eyes, I wondered why id-tags where not
used at all.
Not being to weel into JS, I just thought I was at the wrong end of the
stick.
This would aslo help AJAX JASON SOAP approaches.

Hi Walter
Yes - the ID property is invaluable re working with AJAX or multi-frame applications.
Its so easy to do this
var obj = document.getElementByID('name of control');
obj.style = "color: red";
obj.value = "error has occured";
or from a frame parent.document.getElementbyId....
It is easy enought to work around - in the Format tab just cut and paste the Name property into the ID field. But is something you have to remeber to do each time.
Hope this gives some more inspiration
Dave

Great call Dave,
I am like you, and when you go to the market and want to add in a 3rd party piece of Javascript, they all reference ID's. To me it is a "no brainer".
If you look in the Javascript Datepicker in the CCS Marketplace you will see I have added some generic "script" to locate the control if all you have is the name. Please feel free to copy and paste the code where necessary.
Regards, Edd
