ASPNET get ClientID in onchange event using Javascript

Question

I use:

onchange="alert('<%= AbcControl.ClientID %>')"

but Unfortunately it will translate to:

onchange="alert('&lt;%= AbcControl.ClientID %>')"

May I know what is the best solution for this other than adding the onchange even during server side Page_Load even?

Thanks in Advance.

Try this, if you want to see only Id (Client side generated id) of the AbcControl

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="AbcControl" />
<input type="text" onchange='<%= "alert('"+ AbcControl.ClientID +"');" %>' />

OR

Try this, if you want to get the client side object of AbcControl

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="AbcControl" />
<input type="text" onchange='<%= "alert("+ AbcControl.ClientID +");" %>' />

You can use this.id here

onchange="alert(this.id);"
