Take a look at forceId as Heath suggests. I basically wrote it for
just such occassions. If you are writing a custom component there is
the option of having the component/renderer generate the javascript in
which case you would know the id. Take a look at the archives for
discussions on forceId for some of the lively debate we had on this
topic. There are pros and cons to each approach.
