How to use getElementById

[AAaron123]

This is on a content aspx page (this contents ends up in the head section)

var map = new
google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("ctl00_BottomCPH_map_canvas"),
myOptions);





map_canvas is the id of a div element in contents BottomCPH.

It is on the same context aspx page .

The context BottomCPH is defined in a table cell on the master.

By looking at the source I found the name

ctl00_BottomCPH_map_canvas which works OK



I tried making the div runat server and using <'%=map_canvas%'>

but that didn't work.

Would you expect it to work?



Got any suggestion as to what might work other than using the expanded name,
ctl00_BottomCPH_map_canvas?

Also, what is the word I need to describe what happens to the name (better
than expand"?

Something like mangle, maybe.



Thanks

This is called munging:

Thanks again

I don't want to put words in your mouth but I believe you were not too
pleased with IE7.
I wonder how you feel about IE8?

thanks
