ID Attribute | id Property

Sets or retrieves a value that indicates the string that identifies the object.

Syntax

ASP	<tagPrefix:ELEMENT ID = p ... >
Script	[ p = ] object.id

Possible Values

tagPrefix	Required. The element prefix associated with the WebControls namespace (Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls). A TagPrefix is defined using the directive.
p	System.String that specifies or receives any alphanumeric string that begins with a letter. The underscore (_) can also be used.

The property is read/write. The property has no default value.

Remarks

The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the current document. If a document contains more than one object with the same identifier, the objects are exposed as a collection that can be referenced only in ordinal position.

The ID of a PAGEVIEW has a direct correlation with the TARGETID attribute of a TABSTRIP or TAB object. When using the ID attribute for PAGEVIEW, the ID attribute references a particular TAB on the TABSTRIP control.
