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.
