Javascript Object orientation + DOM?

Im using multiple ASCX controls on one page, and the javascript clashes obviously if I use two of the same control. So Ive changed it all to proper OOP javascript so they dont interfere开发者_开发知识库, but my problem now is how do I do the HTML side of things. Both ASCX's will make a div called "foo". So whats the usual way around this? Am I meant to also be generating all the html from inside my JS classes?

Thanks :)

You can add runat="server" to your DIVs to make them server-side controls:

<div id="foo" runat="server"> ... </div>

then use the control's (generated) ClientID:

<script>
  var divId = "<%= foo.ClientID %>";
</script>

Put them into their own ''containers'': divs with unique IDs such as:

...
<div id="control1">
...
<!-- Control One goes here -->
<div class="foo">...</div>
...
</div>
...

<div id="control2">
...
<!-- Control Two goes here -->
<div class="foo">...</div>
...
</div>
...

You can then manipulate them by first navigating to the uniquely named DIVs, then searching for elements with class foo.

To access these in Javascript you could use something like:

var c1 = document.getElementById("control1").getElementsByClassName('foo')[0];
var c2 = document.getElementById("control2").getElementsByClassName('foo')[0];

Make sure to use the [0] on each, because getElementsByClassName returns an array of elements. You (probably) need only one element (not an array object).
