John,

you get fixed ids if you assign ids to all namingContainer components,
eg if you have a structure like:

<tc:page id="page" >
   ...
  <tc:in id="name" .../>
  ...
</tc:page>

the input field name will get the id "page:name" which you can pass to
the script. If in doubt take a look into the generated html code, if the
generated id contains a '_idxx' part then there is a namingcontainer
without assigned id involved.

BTW: the 'dynamically' generated ids are also fix as long as you don't
change the tag structure.


Regards,
  Volker
