Ok that make sense. Is idx better?

46

can we use both? meaning use idx and name if that = the predefined array value then its good?

47

it is better if you want to extract certain values from a table like container, provided that the container doesn’t change much. if it does, there isn’t much way left for you to automate

48

you can but that will significantly increase the development and if that is prone to changes, especially name change, you need to review and redevelop that

49

also a general rule of thumb for selectors is the lesser the number of selectors needed the better, although u do need enough to identify what you want first

WOW this is great info. Thank you. What would you do in my situation? I have time to develop alot so that doesnt bother me.

51

just idx will do, dont bother with name coz its not worth the time.

ps. if your idx for ur company application changes everyday, use get element, name a variable and replace the idx = ‘…’ to idx = variable
