how to get form id in a composite control?

[Robin Lilly']

Hi,

I have a composite control that I need to reference the form id to build
some javascript that I am pushing out several places, such as:

_Anchor.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "JavaScriptopUpCalendar(this, document."
& _formId & ".elements['" & _TextBox.UniqueID & "'], ""m/d/yyyy"")")



Where _formId would need to be the page form tag.

Thanks,

Robin

Robin, I've wondered this myself, and after poking through the source
code using Reflector [http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/], I was unable
to find a means. The approach used by Steve Stchur in this article,
Maintaining Scroll Position on Postback
[http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/111704-1.aspx], offers one
workaround - recursing through the control hierarchy, searching for an
HtmlForm object.

If there is another way, please let me know!

Scott,

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to take the one from Steve and put it in
a Utilites class. I had been really struggling looking at the page
class, searching, etc trying to figure where the "form id tag" property
was located.

Thanks,
