Use JQuery to clean up ASP.NET Web Forms markup

If you’ve done any serious Web Forms development you have almost definitely run into issues with the HTML that is generated. There’s a bunch of options for cleaning this up but one of the simplest is to use JQuery (or I suppose even pure JS if you are a masochist) to remove the offending elements and attributes client side. It’s a good compromise between the power of server controls and the need to customize the look and feel, especially when legacy applications are in play.
