In asp.net 4.0, you'll have full control of the IDs and how they're generated.

Chris' #2 sounds good. I don´t want that ClientId stuff (I prefer to have control over my id's), but page specific javascripts sounds great.

I would love to have something like this:

1. An easier way to bundle/compress custom JavaScript and CSS for Release builds.

Currently we have two options: put them all in Resource Files, and link in using the ScriptManager -- or, do it ourselves. I'm OK with the DIY option. But the Script Manager part stinks (because of all the other JavaScript it then forces on you)

2. Page specific JavaScript files (*.jsx?). In my aspx file I can type <%=MyControl.ClientId%> (or any other page value) and get the value. But if my JavaScript gets too large I like to move it to a separate JavaScript file (also makes JavaScript unit testing possible). When I do that I loose the <%= %> stuff.
