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!

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?

We are an association located in Washington DC. We would like to list the database of our members on our web site. What kind of database and system would you use to do this? We were thinking of using Microsoft Access or SQL Server. And can you recommend any good company in the Maryland or Washington DC area that does web development? Thanks,
