With jquery you can use various types of selectors[1] to find elements, but for the most part you just need the elements class name[3] or id[2][4]. Personally I suggest using jquery and using id's for selecting most elements unless you have a group of similar elements, like a bunch of text inputs that are a series of names, then class's would be a better choice to select them., Mike.
