I ran into this same problem a while back. It was very frustrating, I
believe it's because you are updating using a zone or another XHR call, so
even though your component is only rendered once, it's rendered multiple
times without a full page refresh, which is why tapestry adds the uniquifier
(not a real word). There were two workaround proposed at the time (search
the list), one is a modified getElementById which searches for the prefix
(your original id), but this was too slow for my tastes, I instead now use
getElementbyId on something outside of the ajax updated stuff, then get the
appropriate select by type (this isn't very refactor friendly but worked
well enough for me). If the above code works (can't test it myself right
now, but I think I tried that before and it didn't work as I wanted) then it
would be much more elegant. IIRC it instead overwrites your id="" with the
unique t:id
