I want to access a HTML control on server side, but while adding runat= server, it is giving me error as "header-category" is not a valid identifier. What is happening is that, if i remove hyphen from header-category and keep runat=server it works but dropdownlist not coming.

if i keep hyphen and keep runat="server", it gives me not valid identifier error.

<input type="text" id="header-category" runat="server" value="Acupuncture" class="ui-autocomplete-input" autocomplete="off">

Hi chetan,

According to Microsoft,

Only combinations of alphanumeric characters and the underscore character ( _ ) are valid values for Control.ID Property. Including spaces or other invalid characters will cause an ASP.NET page parser error.

For more details refer below link.
