Just a question, i try to perform acceptance test (fill a field) on form with an ID generated dynamically on every refresh. I am looking for a method to grab the form id, or to use partial xpath, i didnt find it.
<input type="text" name="searchform_fb1831c63342af1bc6b8744181e2cc5b[simpleCriteria][NAME]" id="searchform_fb1831c63342af1bc6b8744181e2cc5b-simpleCriteria-NAME" value="" size="40" class="manage_ul_error text-input">
Any suggestion will be welcome thank you.
One option is to check id attribute for containing searchform_:
//input[@type='text' and contains(@id, 'searchform_')]
or, for starting with:
//input[@type='text' and starts-with(@id, 'searchform_')]
You may also check for class additionally:
//input[@type='text' and @class='manage_ul_error text-input' and starts-with(@id, 'searchform_')]
