In the selectors, why should I avoid using the idx attribute unless its value is a very small number like 1 or 2

Hi @Surya_Narayana_Korivipadu,
Usually idx attribute is assigned to generated data on websites. If it’s a small number it can be related to some headers or simple buttons. If number is big then such attribute can be part of one from many similar elements. For example if you have a website where there is a dynamic table with 100 items and each item have it’s own idx. The problem is that usually these tables have those indexes randomly attached to each element and you can’t be sure that if you will use selector with the “idx = 45” it will work with exact same item on the next run. Hopefully it make sense :slight_smile:
