I'm thinking of moving to DNN, but I use a lot client-centric javascript and ajax. ie. NO UpdatePanels. The problem is, if I have two module instances on a page, how do I get my javascript to play nice? For example, if I'm doing some client side validation of textbox controls, how do I differentiate between Module1 and Module2 text fields? In javascript I would use the $get or $find to reference the text fields, but I can't use these without getting the server control ClientID. Same with using $addHandler method, how can I hook client side events up to the correct modules? I also usually have my javascript in a .js file which gets referenced using the ScriptManager. So I can't easily do inline server-side tricks to get the ClientID.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

I cover these issues on this site:

It's about Silverlight but Silverlight uses JavaScript so it's really about JavaScript. Basically I dynamically generate JavaScript classes with the module number appended to them. This keeps them separate.

I will be covering this exact topic during my session at OpenForce Vegas.  A little more detail on the module I am writing can be found in this blog.  Hopefully you can attend.  If not, I will have a sample module available shortly afterwards.

Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated. The silverlight solution is good, but that method will only work when using silverlight. I need a solution which will work with the asp.net ajax framework. Here is an example, you click a button and need a hide a panel. This works fine when using silverlight as the framework has a sender.findName function. The problem is, there is no such method that I'm aware of for asp.net ajax framework. I need something that will work with the $addHandler method.

Jon, I'm interested in seeing your sample module when it's available.
