form autocomplete in asp.net

[Thom Shannon]

Does anyone know of a way to help browsers with their form autocomplete
when you've got an asp.net form with long client ids.

Basically a way of mapping "p_ctl06_ProfileAddress2TextBox" to "address"

I thought the auto form complete used "name"s to get the auto fill information and not the id. 

I can't recall if asp.net mangles the name tag too.

You can prevent ASP.Net from generating the long IDs by overriding either ClientId or NamingContainer (I forget which).

Cheers Matt, that sounds promising.

Paul, yes you're right it does use names but it still renames them as they have to be unique (or at least distinguishable)
