Can I use jQuery to assign ID attributes to form elements in SharePoint?

While customizing an "add new item" form, you might find yourself needing to manipulate form elements via jQuery. However, before you can do that you must and an #id or .class to the elements in question. I will be adding an #id in this demonstration. But why would I want to manipulate form elements in the first place? If you wanted to hide/show a textbox based on the user selection of a checkbox you could use this technique.
