ASP.NET 4.0 site

What could be a better practice for using both ASP.NET server side form validation + jQuery client validation? I found that if using control with ASP.NET form validator controls, the TextBox tag will be populated as in HTML with a long ID. Will this long ID causing any trouble when using jQuery validation lib due to the ID is not easily predictable? Please advise.

You can use the (asp.net usercontrol) ClientId property on controls to ensure the id of the control on the clientside

If you're using .Net 4, you can use the new ClientIDMode for your controls. Also, you can use markup: '<%= Mytextbox.ClientID %>' in javascript.
