Yes! I don't add an id attribute to the control unless you want it to be accessed from code behind. The naming containers come into action and generate a scope prefixed name. In general you can avoid ids for all controls except for form controls. Alternatively you can use control adapters. I am feeling encouraged to write an article: "Avoiding the id mess in ASP.NET"

What about having to keep specifying Runat="Server" when there is no option?

I know it's more work but can't you write something like the CSS adapters so that you can control these things?

How about a Silverlight.LeaveMeAlone = TRUE configuration for all browsers while visiting MS website?

Look at the MVC framework, it's like ASP.NET without the events. Another option is to not use a server side form. The controls actually output clean HTML without viewstate if they can't find the serverside form element. 3.5 extensions[^] in standard new microsoft style, the best intro is the 3rd video on the download page.

The difference between pH 13 and pH 8 is five, which meant that pH 13 was ten to the fifth power - a hundred thousand times - more alkaline than pH 8. That kind of thing goes on all the time. But no matter how many diplomas are tacked to your wall, give people a figure like that and they'll pass you off as a flake. You can't get most people to believe how wildly the eco-laws get broken.

What's wrong with silverlight? If you don't like it you can uninstallit.

I guess, he means why should you specify the runat="server" on Server Controls

Funny, I have the same problem. My biggest issue comes with trying to use Cross Browser compatible javascript. Just mix in some classic style asp and your done :p

Writing your own web server is surprisingly easy to do, I say this from experience.

What if I just don't want to install it? I simply can't see it standing anywhere closer to flash. The "Install silver light now" just bugs me off.

I owe you a T-shirt already I think. I'm hoping to actually get around to doing some more in the next 2 weeks.
