Finding element by partial id #27

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Operating system : Win7
.Net Framework version : 2.0.7045
Office Version : 2003
SeleniumWrapper version : 1.0.11.0

Please could you provide sample VBA code, that will allow me to type in a field 
knowing only it's partial id.

For example:

  selenium.Type "id=OptionListControl__optionLeg4241e47e-1f84-48a3-b06e-9bcb766366e1__TextBoxNotional", "1500000"

Will not work because the middle 
"optionLeg4241e47e-1f84-48a3-b06e-9bcb766366e1" part is generated at random 

Pls could you provide universal code, I believe, using "contains" command?

You can use a CSS selector :
[id^=start_string][id$=end_string]

With your example :
selenium.type "css=[id^=OptionListControl__optionLeg][id$=TextBoxNotional]", 
"1500000"

Some documentation about CSS selectors :
