xhtmlconformancemode issues with tab control IDs (7.1, .NET2 SP1)
posted

We're having nasty issues with UltraWebTab 7.1 with control IDs contained within a tab.

Firstly I can't actually set each tab to have its own ID so I have to rely on the auto-generated IDs.

Secondly these autogenerated tab IDs get rendered differently depending on certain combinations of .NET 2.0 SP1 and xhtmlconformancemode='legacy' in the apps web.config. With 'legacy' mode the tab subcontrol IDs get rendered like

tsTabs$_ctl0$Label1

when the xhtmlconformancemode setting is removed then they get rendered as :'s instead of $'s for the tab id section

tsTabs:_ctl0:Label1

Reading the control ID in code-behind will give the $ version, so we have to set xhtmlconformancemode='legacy' which causes lots of unwanted sideeffects. Is there a fix for this issue?

This only seems to happen for UltraWebTab and no other controls (they always render IDs with $)
