dynamic ids and dynamic names

Hello,



we use Testcomple 8.10. Now we test a website with tags which have dynamic ids and names. I am able to edit the namemapping but the elements are only identifiable by the position in the dom/html tree. Does any possibility exist to select elements by their position in the tree?



Furthermore, i want to record the namemapping directly by the position - not by name or id. Is this possible too ?



Regards

         Hendrik

    You can try using the techniques described in the "Creating Reliable Tests For Dynamic Objects with Name Mapping" video.

    You can try using name mapping templates to do this.
