Access page controls in jquery

I have a web application in VS 2008. I used jquery for validation of different Forms and used it for other purposes. In VS 2008 I get the IDs of page controls in jquery like Ctl001_.... , but now I have upgraded the application to VS 2010 and now all my page controls are giving error in jquery because its changed its ID there as ContentBody_....., I can not convert all these to the new prefix ContentBody_.... because on the server my project runs on .Net Framework 3.5 and there the IDs are with the Prefix of Ctl001_...., can any one tell me a way that I can easily get control's ID in jquery without depending on the .Net Framework.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use ends with selector: http://api.jquery.com/attribute-ends-with-selector/

jQuery('[id$="_textBox1"]');

You should use the ClientID property of the asp controls. $('#<%=textBox1.ClientID%>') would return $('#ctl001_textBox1') or whatever asp decides to rename it.
