So I have a user control that exists multiple times on a page. From the back end I can call userControl1.someFunction(); and specify which user control I want to call someFunction() for. But if I have a java-script function on the front-end of the user control I can’t call it for individual user controls. All I have to do is call javaFunction(), but this doesn’t specify which user control I want to call. So this is what I would like to be able to do, clientsideUserControl1.javaFunction(); Is this possible to do? What I have been doing is generating the function name dynamically IE: clientsideUserControl1_javaFunction(), but I feel like there has to be a better way to do this.

    Turns out that in this case it would be better to use a server control instead of a user control. Server controls seem to be a little more complicated to make but they do protect the scope of the javascript functions.

    Here is a link that discusses the differences.
