How do I get the correct ID (html) a control in ASP.net?

Everyone knows that the ID for all user controls changes upon the asp.net page is created. 

<div id="ID-value" runat="server"></div>

becomes:

<div id="ct100$ID-value"></div>

This could be a pain in the ass I think, especially when you try to bind objects to javascripts. So.

Is there a way to get the correct ID as it is shown in the html page? so that I can manually bind this object to the java script? (in other words: I want the "ct100$.....") Thanks!

If you are using ASP.net 4.0 or higher, you can try setting the ClientIDMode to be static - this will prevent the Id from being written by ASP.net (but will not give you unique Ids for controls included inside other controls that bind multiple rows).

You can do it like below in javascript 

document.getElementById('<%=ID-value.ClientID%>')

or in jQuery

$('#<%=(ID-value).ClientID%>')

This is better because you can access elements directly with the actual id's in code-behind.
