Dynamically generated ID Webdriver.

[Kehinde Adeoya]

A quick response needed please. How do I find a Select / Dropdown element that the ID is dynamically generated? I have tried with the code snippet below but it didn't work. The ID come thus: select2-chosen-3. Only the number digit changes but this "select2-chosen" remains constant.

IWebElement DropDownPath = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("select[id*='select2-chosen']"));
SelectElement DropDown = new SelectElement(DropDownPath);
DropDown.SelectByText("Programmer");

I this ID is unique in page the below xpath should work

driver.FindElement(By.Xpath(//select[contains(@id,'select2-chosen')]. Be very careful in providing the id value which is case sensitive.
