Set ClientID to static in C#

Question

I have a C# code where I am setting the ID of a DIV. Example: ``` div.ID = "slider"; ``` The only issue is when the website loads ASP adds a whole bunch of random characters in front of the ID. I cannot use the `<% Page %>` because I am just using a Web Part. When I tried to set: ``` div.ClientID = "static"; ``` I am given an error where the property is read only. Is there any other way to set it within C#, so the ID does not change when the website runs my page? I do not want to use `<%= slider.ClientID %>` in the javascript/css code but if that's the only way then I guess I have no choice.

Accepted Answer

You are looking for `ClientIDMode` property, not `ClientID` ``` div.ClientIDMode = System.Web.UI.ClientIDMode.Static; ``` If you want to define it in aspx page then you can do: ```
