Just a note. the HTML standards dictate that to be proper HTML that the value of an ID attribute must be unique on the page. So checking by both ID and Index is redundant.
Unless the page is not legal HTML (in which case you have a bug to file in my opinion) you should reliably be able to find something with just 'id' as long as it's not dynamically generated or in some other way difficult to predict. the use of Index really should only come into play when there's no truely unique identifier for the object. For example an instance where say no id is assigned to the object, and you end up using a different identifier like name or class, and there's more than one of that identifier on the page.
