Question

I have a Master Page which has an associated css file. On one of the base pages I have a div to which I am trying to apply a style from this css file by id. However, the page when rendered has a different id for this element.

How can I specify the correct id name in the css file?

Is there a way to specify that I want the id of this element like there is in javascript using the <%= Element.ClientID %>?

Answer 1

You should be using class=”someClass” for this instead of by the id. If you MUST use an id, put a container around it you know will not change, and give it an id, then do this

#myContainer .someClass {
...
}
