user control question

[mgriffith]

does anyone know how i could go about writing something like this out:
-------------------------
<span id=&quot;_ctl32_Combo3_StatusDisplaySpan&quot;
onblur=&quot;ComboBlur('_ctl32:Combo3');&quot;
onfocus=&quot;ComboFocus('_ctl32:Combo3');&quot;>
</span>
</span>
<script language=javascript>
var this_c=&quot;_ctl32:Combo3&quot;;
...
</script>
-----------------------

i don't have a problem actually creating the span or anything...what i need to figure out is how can i get the name part at run time ('_ctl32:Combo3').

it's for a javascript that requires the name prefix to do stuff...there's going to be many of the span/script blocks on a page, and it's going to do something like

eval(this_c + &quot;_StatusDisplaySpan&quot.innertext = &quot;whatever&quot;;

any ideas?? need more clarification??

thanks. mike griffith

ok i got it...i have code in my .ascx file, but in my codebehind i've now put (and it works!!)

------------------------------
protected override void OnPreRender (EventArgs e)
{
Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock(
&quot;&quot;, &quot;<script language=\&quot;javascript\&quot; src=\&quot;DbComboServer.js\&quot;></script>&quot;

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock(
&quot;&quot;, &quot;<script language=\&quot;javascript\&quot; src=\&quot;usrCobTemplateJs.js\&quot;></script>&quot;
}

protected override void Render (HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
base.Render(writer);
writer.Write(
&quot;<script language=\&quot;javascript\&quot;>\n&quot; +
&quot;<!--\n&quot;+
&quot;var this_c=\&quot;&quot; +
this.ID +
&quot;\&quot;;\n&quot; +
&quot;eval(DbComboStringToEval(this_c, \&quot;Please Wait...\&quot;, \&quot;No results.\&quot;, 10, false, \&quot;tblName\&quot;, \&quot;colDisplayName\&quot;, \&quot;colSearchText\&quot;, \&quot;colIdent\&quot);\n&quot; +
&quot;DbComboInit(this_c);\n&quot; +
&quot;-->\n&quot;+
&quot;</script>&quot;
}

i forgot that ID is derived from the base class! oh well. mike griffith
