How to set the html id a xaml element will have?

[electriceop3]

I am wanting to use a javascript library called OpenLayers. It, however, needs a html id that it puts the content in. Is there a way to set the id of a xaml element. I read this link: Embedding Existing JavaScript Components and thought I could use this.SetHtmlAttribute(), and I was wondering if there is a way to use it on a xaml element. Thank you!
