It does the same of document.getElementById(), so to get value just do $get('elementID').value, but dont forget to put a scriptmanager in the top of the page for the ajax asp.net to work.

Because it has to run a substring search on every element on the page, it can often be surprisingly slow. That works well, but you have to be careful with heavy use and/or use on large documents.

Although the alternative is to replace = with # but somehow it doesnot work for me as i use my serverside includes in the head section only. One hack which i found while researching on net is to write this statement with = sign just after your closing and before tag , i.e in between closing body and html tags. If you can suggest some other good option for doing this then it would be great. I dont want to go codebehind and do any registerclientscriptblock i think asp.net should allow this and it should not give this weired error. Anyways all your post are great and the best on net in related topics. Keep the good work going. Using $(‘#’) always cries that control collection has been modified and this error drives me crazy.

Since the JavaScript namespace is globally available, you can set ClientID variables in ASPX or output them from code behind, and still access them from a JS include.
