You can also specify a static ID for the field in your aspx and use code behind to affect its behaviour, which I'd recommend.
Using jQuery wildcards like the one above can become very problematic if other controls exist or need to be added later. If you HAVE to use jQuery then I would lock-down the order of the control(s) within the page rendering structure and target it using pseudo selectors such nth-child.
