Hello,

I'm using a client side javascript custom validator so I can get the validation summary(which is also client side) to work correctly.

In my javascript code, I'm trying to use the "name" of the control I'm validating.

However, the "name" will be different on every portal I install the module on because DNN puts it's own naming on the control.

For example, it's calling my checkbox control:

dnn_ctr395_InformaticaRequestNew_cbEmergency

Is there a better way to find the control I want to validate, so I don't have to edit the .ascx page for every installation of the module?  (Test, Dev, Prod, etc.)

There are so many controls on this page, that using the index of the control is also quite difficult.

Thanks!

The above recommendation is the best way to go.  It will work in all installations without issue.

Thanks everyone for the replies.   This worked perfectly.... 

Example for my checkbox:

document.form.<%=cbEmergency.ClientID%>.checked
