Question

I want to apply validation through jquery in my forms and for that I require the “name” attribute of the TextBoxes on my form which are generated by the ASP.Net automatically. Is there any way I can get the name of elements in javascript just like:

<script>
'<%= txt.ClientID %>'
</script>

I am using the following type of jquery validation:

$(".selector").validate({
   rules: {
     // simple rule, converted to {required:true}
     name: "required",
     // compound rule
     email: {
       required: true,
       email: true
     }
   }
})

Answer 1

You might do it like this…

<script> 
  var textbox = '<%= txt.UniqueID %>';
</script> 

Or even…

<script> 
  $('#<%= txt.UniqueID %>').DoYourThing();
</script>
