Can you stop ASP.NET from changing IDs so that it can be used in jQuery

I have this label control in my web page using asp.net

< asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="test">< /asp:Label >
And when the page rendered the id of the control changes to something like this

< span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Label1">test< /span >
How can I stop asp.net from changing IDs in order to perform a jQuery operation like this

$('#label1').html(xml);

Web development using php

Hello,
We have a system that keeps track of homeowners. It is programmed in php. Does your company work in the area of web development? And do you have people that know php? Computer programming is not our thing! I see that you are in Maryland, just outside of Washington DC. That would be perfect for us b/c we are located in Germantown. Thanks, hope to hear from you oon!

Computer programming project in php

To Whom it may concern:
I have inherited a computer programming project in php. It has a database in MySQL. Does your company have good experience using php? I am located in Maryland, about half an hour from Washington DC. The computer programming project involves sensitive confidential information handled by my company. I assume you could sign an NDA as well? Please advise.

How to do a Forms Authentication across Sub-Domains

Is it possible to authenticate users across sub-domains when the authentication takes place at a sub-domain instead of the parent domain?

For example:

User logs into site1.parent.com, and then we need to send them to reporting.parent.com.

Can I authenticate them to the reporting site even though the log-in occured at a sub-domain?

SQL Server 2008 problem in Germantown, Maryland

Hi,
We have our data (mostly HR data in the HROffice system by Ascentis) in a SQL Server 2008 database. We are having difficulties backing up the system, transferring it, and getting it back on-line. Do you have a technician or someone who can come to our office in Germantown, Maryland to help us out? I think it would take just a few hours. Thanks,

Alan, CIO
