You should have a look at webdriver and selenium. These are tools for automated testing.

If webBrower.Document.GetElementById("Id_Of_Element").InvokeMembers("Click") works then you can use this:

webBrower.Document.GetElementById('<%= YourElement.ClientID %>').InvokeMembers("Click")

or you can try this:

document.getElementById('<%= YourElement.ClientID %>').click()

Returning to the problem with IDs, starting from ASP.NET 4.0 you can use ClientIDMode property for you element. And if you set it into Static then the ClientID value will be set to the value of the ID property:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" />

will be rendered as something like this:

 <input id="TextBox1" name="ctl00$MasterPageBody$ctl00$TextBox1" />
