Set ID field dynamically

See code

How do I set the ID column to the account number? Kind of like I have...only have it work.
I get a not well formed error.

THIS SECTION: ID='<%# Eval("ACCOUNT_NUMBER") %>'

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="CLICK">
	<ItemTemplate>
	<asp:HyperLink ID='<%# Eval("ACCOUNT_NUMBER") %>' runat="server" NavigateUrl="#" 
	Text='<%# Eval("ACCOUNT_NUMBER") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
	</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

>>your hyperlink is a server-side control, I don't think you can set its ID dynamically. Why do you need that? you can use the name attribute, or text, like you are doing.

I may be getting mixed up here. I don't want to set the server side ID. I want the client side ID.

Basically I want the link but, via Jquery, i want to know what particular link I clicked.
