title: FindControl table cell
body: <p>I want to reference a table cell via it's string ID in my code like this  <code>FindControl("tdAnswer_a")</code> because I am manipulating string ID names. The ASPX code looks like this : </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table&gt;...&lt;td ID="tdAnswer_a" runat="server" visible="true"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But FindControl is not able to find the table cell. When I reference it by ID like this : <code>tdAnswer_a.Visible = true;</code> in my codebehind, it has no problems. (This is not part of  a repeater or gridview).</p>
  
  <p>How can I FindControl my table cells via string ID names?</p>
