The property you want is called ClientID. It consists of the
control's original ID prefixed by the ID of any naming containers. So
basically you just need to get myTextarea.ClientID on the server side
and pass it to your JS function.

set the control id property. Then use document.getElementById to find
it. It will be prefixed by the containing control + _.
