I'm doing an automation using Selenium WebDriver and I'm getting all the elements of a Table.
I used the code below:
var qntd= driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[@id='dataTable']/tbody/tr")).Skip(3);
I then realized that each element generated an Id that is not of the Html Id attribute
ItriedtoretrievethisidwithaquerybutIcouldnotbecausethereturnistheHTMLIdAttribute
varquery=fromainqntdselecta.GetAttribute("Id");
Where does this ID come from and how do I retrieve it?
Unfortunately you will not be able to access this field because the "FindElements" method returns the elements in the form of IWebElement. IWebElement does not have a method implemented to get the ID value I was looking for.
If the FindElements method was to return the type RemoteWebElement, or even ChromeWebElement, we could access this field because the RemoteWebElement has a method to access it. However, this method is not implemented in the interface. Therefore, there is no way to achieve this. So I'm not seeing a way to get this ID.
See the RemoteWebElement.cs source code for more information:
