You might have to use the full name of hte control which is a dynamic value based on the containing control(s).

Look at the source for the page generated, and look for the name of the control used in the HTML and give that a try - wich will be the Unique iD generated by the control at runtime. usually this will reflect a part of the containership hierarchy so you have to be careful about the name if you move the control around in terms of hte containership as the name would possibly change.
