How can I get ID of textbox?

I'm customizing file & image dialogs with my own uploader.
The problem I'm facing is that URL fields get "funny" IDs (30_textInput) and you never know which number is gonna be there
If I call alert (this.id) in OnLoad, I get "url" which is far from XX_textInput....so how can I get the "real" ID?

Try this

this.getDialog().getContentElement('info', 'url').getValue()

You basically access the current "dialog" element and within it get access to the textbox with ID 'url' on the 'info' tab.
