Can't get the ID from a navbar list href

this is my first question, so hopefully I won't screw it.
This is .net framework 3.5
The MasterMenu.ascx has a navbar list and each item redirects to a specific url. And each item from the list has an ID.
What I'm (unsuccessfully) trying to do is, given the URL, get the ID of the item who send it there.
I.E. (MasterMenu.ascx):
<div id="navbar" class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="dropdown" id="DropDownPF” runat="server" visible="false"><a id="A2" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown">PF<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu multi-level" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu">
<li visible="false" id="DropDepositSSN" runat="server">Deposit </li>
<li visible="false" id="DropPFSSN" runat="server">Check</li>
<li visible="false" id="DropInterfaceSSN" runat="server">Interface</li>
</ul>
</li>
When I get the current path, lets say
~/Check.aspx
I want a method that returns the id of the item:
DropPFSSN
Thanks in advance!

Customize HTML output of DataList control of ASP.NET

How can I generate output of DataList control in the following format?
<ul id="container">
<li data-genre="cricket"> Cricket Sport </li>
<li data-genre="boxing"> Boxing Sport </li>
<li data-genre="Swimming"> Swimming Sport </li>
<li data-genre="Kite"> Kite Sport </li>
</ul>
Why I need to generates like this because of I need to apply following JQuery plugin
https://luis-almeida.github.io/filtrify/music.html
Following is DataList code. I am biding this List object on server side
<asp:DataList ID="dlSports" runat="server" RepeatColumns="6" CellSpacing="5" RepeatLayout="Table" >
<ItemTemplate>
<image> Image will display here</image>
<span><%# Eval("SportName") %></span>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
I am using DataList because I need to display data in tabular form like showed in https://luis-almeida.github.io/filtrify/music.html.
------- EDITED -----------
HTML output like this.
<table id="MainContent_dlSports" cellspacing="5" class="text-center" style="height:100%;width:100%;">
<tr>
<td>
<li>
<image> ....</image>
<span>Cricket Sport</span>

Use Sessions.
Assign to the session:
Session["username"] = txtusername.text;
retrieve from the session:
string username = Session["username"].toString();

Creating Bootstrap-Datepicker with multiple asp:Repeater TextBoxes

I am creating form using an asp:Repeater, each object of the repeater has one textbox that will need it's own unique bootstrap-datepicker linked to it. (the datepicker is a javascript addon to twitter-bootstrap 2.3.2 found here: http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-datepicker -- Wanted to add that the link is safe, but there is no real need to view the page in regards to the question)
My problem is that I am not able to use the asp.net clientid to correctly target the text boxes.
aspx code:
<asp:Repeater ID="repList" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<ul class="gridul">
<li class="gridli userrole"><span class="short liheader">Jenz ID</span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="long liheader">Name</span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="short liheader">S/S/F</span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="short liheader">Date</span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="long liheader">Payment Type</span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="mid liheader">Sent to B.O.</span></li>
</ul>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<ul class="gridul">
<li class="gridli userrole"><span class="short"><%# Eval("jenzabar_id") %></span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="long"><%# Eval("first_name") %>&nbsp<%# Eval("last_name") %></span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="short"><%# Eval("student_staff_faculty") %></span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="short"><%# Eval("reservation_date") %></span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="long"><asp:TextBox ID="PayType" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("payment_type") %>' /></span></li>
<li class="gridli"><span class="mid"><asp:TextBox ID="SentBo" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("sent_to_bo") %>' /></span></li>
</ul>
<asp:HiddenField ID="hidJenz" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("jenzabar_id") %>' />
<asp:HiddenField ID="hidPayType" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("payment_type") %>' />
<asp:HiddenField ID="hidSentBo" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("sent_to_bo") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
The textbox being targeted is:
<asp:TextBox ID="SentBo" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("sent_to_bo") %>' />
In my scripts.js I can target an individual textbox by viewing the aspx source and copying in the generated id such as "ctl00_MainContent_repList_ctl01_SentBo" but I cannot figure out how to use <%# SentBo.ClientID %> with the repeater. It just doesn't work.
Example:
$(function () {
$('ctl00_MainContent_repList_ctl01_SentBo').datepicker();
})
is successful
$(function () {
$('<%#= SentBo.ClientID %>').datepicker();
})
is not

Did more digging. Found the answer, finally.
Replace:
$('ctl00_MainContent_repList_ctl01_SentBo').datepicker();
with:
$(this).find("input[type=text][id*=SentBo]").datepicker();
