OK to use the same ID in each FormView template?

Cal Who

I'm looking at someone else's code and it contains a FormView with a
InsertItemTemplate and a EditItemTemplate.

In each template there is a
<asp:TextBox ID="titleTextBox"...

element.



That is the same ID is in both templates. It appears to work OK

Is that OK.

Is it a good way to program?

What happens if I use FindControl? Does it find the active one?



Thank in advance for any info

yes.

It finds the id in html that's going to be emitted.
By definition, this is the "active" one.

I take it that there is no advantage to using different IDs.


Thanks
