Hi, i'm currently writing JMeter tests for a web frontend generated with myfaces. I tried to identify the input fields, buttons and drop downs via their html id attribute. For example the id of one of my input fields was: j_id36:inputContentText. After redeploying the application the id changed to j_id42 - and my JMeter script broke.
In the same document the prefix of the id changes, too. So the id of an input field at the beginning of the document begins with j_id36 and at the end of the document the id of an button begins with j_id48:. How are this id's generated, is it possible to turn them off and is there any spec which defines / explains the generation of this ids? Thank you, Felix Becker
