repeater problem

[rouqiu]

Hello,
I want to set a unique id for each item in a repeater like this:

<asp:repeater id=__theTabStrip runat="server" DataSource='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container,"TabText") %>'>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button Runat="server" id="<%# Container.DataItem %>" BackColor="<%#
SetTabBackColor(Container) %>" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>

However, the id="<%# Container.DataItem %>" generates an error:'<%#
Container.DataItem %>' is not a valid identifier.

Would someone please tell me what I did wrong?

You posted to the *classic* ASP group rather than a dotNET one.

You may want to repost this one to a .NET (DotNet) group. This group is
for the "classic" ASP stuff, not many .NET people here.
