Name mangling for nested Master Pages

I use asp.net 4 and C#.

I have some nested Master Pages; I display in my Content Page a list of Links using a repeater.

This is a sample of code generated by ASP.NET as read in开发者_StackOverflow社区 the Source code in the Browser.

As you can see the ID is very lengthy.

My question:

• How can I have control on the ID generated, so I can chose another format much shorter? Please keep in mind that I cannot get rid of Master Pages for my layout.

Thanks for your help on this!

<li>
<a id="ContentBody_ContentColumn2_latestArticle_uxRepeaterLatestArticles_uxLink_0" href="Category.aspx?CategoryId=8">AAAAA</a>
</li>

<li>
<a id="ContentBody_ContentColumn2_latestArticle_uxRepeaterLatestArticles_uxLink_1" href="Category.aspx?CategoryId=12">BBBBB</a>
</li>

I would like instead an ID like:

ID="CB_CC_LA_R_0"

ID="CB_CC_LA_R_1"

Replace the asp:HyperLink with plain HTML anchor tag and use following markup for it:

<a id='CB_CC_LA_R_<%# Container.ItemIndex %>' href='<%# Eval("IndexPropertyName", "Category.aspx?CategoryId={0}") %>' >
    <%# Eval("TextPopertyName") %>
</a>
