Ive got a UL that is dynamically populated and the ID is also dynamically generated everytime you click on the "Action" button; is there a way to read the tag of the
<div class="class">
<ul id="dynamically generated">
<li class="li_class">
<li class="li_class">
<li class="li_class">
<li class="li_class">
<li class="li_class">
</ul>
</div>
Since you didn't mention any language, I'll go with the JAVA syntax :
// String object 'field_value' is created
String fieldValue;
// The field value is retrieved by the getAttribute("id") Selenium WebDriver predefined method and assigned to the String object.
fieldValue = _driver.findElement(By.ById("dynamically generated")).getAttribute("id")
It'll get the value of a the given attribute of the element. Will return the current value, even if this has been modified after the page has been loaded.
I know you already accepted an answer but if some portion of the ID is stable, you can search for partial matches. For example, say you have an element
<span id="ctl00_SomeStableTextGoesHere_12345" ...>
where 12345
is dynamically generated. You could search for the start of the ID using CSS Selectors.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[id^='ctl00_SomeStableTextGoesHere_']"));
There are other options:
^
begins with $
ends with *
contains
