Is there a way to set the ID of a collection item and not worry about fxx?

Question

Hi Everyone, I am not certain if I am phrasing this properly, so bear with me.
I have a tabular form based on a collection.   There are a variety of items, textareas, select lovs, and radio groups in this tabular form.  Some of the items have a set id which correspond to the collection field...so for example,
c010 has id='f10'+seq
c012 has id='f12'+seq
when any field is changed, a dynamic action is executed.
dynamic action:  COLUMN CHANGE
event: CHANGE
selection type: JQUERY SELECTOR
jquery selector: input[name='f10'],input[name='f11'],input[name='f12'],.shark_info, .hms_info
true action1: set value, javascript expression, set P110_ID = this.triggeringElement.id AFFECTED ITEM P110_VALUE
true action2: execute pl/sql code
begin 
null; 
end;
page items to submit: P110_ID
true action3: set value, javascript expression, set P110_VALUE = this.triggeringElement.value AFFECTED ITEM P110_VALUE
true action4: set value: PL/SQL expression, set P110_SEQ = rtrim(substr(:P110_ID,5,4),'0')    AFFECTED ITEM: P110_SEQ
true action5: execute pl/sql code
declare 
  v_attr number; 
begin  
  v_attr := TO_NUMBER (SUBSTR (:P110_id, 2, 2)); 
  apex_collection.update_member_attribute 
                   (p_collection_name      => 'SPECIES_COLLECTION', 
                    p_seq                  => :P110_SEQ, 
                    p_attr_number          => v_attr, 
                    p_attr_value           => :P110_VALUE); 
end; 
page items to submit: P110_ID, P110_VALUE, P110_SEQ
true action6:  refresh region
The value of v_attr is set to a substr of P110_ID....and p110_id is based on the ID of the item. 
I have one item, a radio group called c024.   It is not called as an apex_item because the radio group (for whatever reason) would not work.  Therefore, in order for c024 to correspond to attribute 24, I must make certain that there are 23 editable items appearing before it...or at least that is the only way to get it to work.
I am wondering if there is a way to assign the ID='f24'+seq manually in much the same way that I assigned the CSS class=.SHARK_INFO to this item.
any clues appreciated.
thanks,
Karen
ps.  the query for the tabular form is:  (and really, anything without an alias could be removed, but is there to ensure that c024 = f24.  ugh.  Is there a better way?

I hope it's the done thing to add to an old thread, instead of starting a new one.
I'd like to be able to clear my form history, but not clear my search history.
I'm using Firefox 7.0.1, but it still seems to be a combined option.
Would it be possible to separate the two options in later versions?
I've found two extensions that might help, but it would be nice to simply have two separate options.

Thanks in advance.
