    Hi Dave,

     

    Two more options:

    a) Wildcards: e.g. var mainMenu = page.Find("idStr", "*MenuInner", 10, 1000);

    b) Regular expressions: e.g. var mainMenu = page.Find("idStr", "regexp: (mainMenuInner)|(navMenuInner)", 10, 1000);

    Hi Alex

     

    Thanks for a very clever solution (at least simple enough for me to understand it!). :) I will definitely give it a try and let you know (I don't see why it won't work).

    I never thought about using wild card,  brilliant! Fortunately, there is only one instance  MenuInner. Now I have three different solutions to the my problem, love it!! Also thanks for clarifying Find  and FindChild issue, I will correct that.

     

    Thanks to you both! :D
