    How to access ID in Master Page

    I have the body tag of my page in my master page.

    <body id="MyBody" runat="server">

    In my control that is on the page, I want to set the onload event which I
    would do if it was in my control but it isn't:

    MyBody.Attribut es.Add("onclick ", "TestIt();" );

    Is there a way to do this from the control?

    Doing this gives me the error:

    Error 5 The name 'MyBody' does not exist in the current context

    Thanks,

    Tom

      Have you tried Page.FindContro l("MyBody")? Or, Master.FindCont rol (whichever
      the case may require)?

          In the content page, include an @MasterType directive. This will cause the
          ..Master property to be automatically cast to the correct type so that you
          can access any of it's methods and/or properties.
