Yes orip we can very well use that but here my point is that we have many elements for example consider widgetboxes in your blog having a common word widget and then appneded with some guid at end so if you want to perform some tweak whether it be css or something else meaning you want to select all the elements at a time then my technique will come handy or else you have to loop using JavaScript and catch each one’s clientID to achieve the same.
Also note that this is useful only when all your elements have some common word by which you can select.

Thanks
All your comments are welcome.

Specifically for ASP.NET WebForms, couldn't you use a control's ClientID?

$('#<%=MyControl.ClientID%>').css('background-color', '#C3E5A7');
