I’ve created a small update for my ServerControlIDs control, which removes the problem caused by controls within Repeaters and DataGrid.

If you had a repeater that for each item contained an Hyperlink control, you’d get a duplicate entry in the ClientIDs object for every record, to avoid this problem I simply don’t output any sub-controls from within repeater style objects.

That may sound like a bit of a hack, maybe it is, but if you want to refer to multiple elements within another, you shouldn’t really be doing it by ID anyway.
