I am new to Selenium IDE, which has been tremendously helpful in my testing, but I have run into a snag. I am trying to enter a fake credit card number in my company’s testing environment (e-commerce company), but the XPath changes each time I go back to the page. The path is below. 

//*[@id="dwfrm_paymentinstruments_creditcards_newcreditcard_number_d0hnrobkriuu"]

d0hnrobkriuu is what changes each time. I tried the following alternatives – 

//*[@id="dwfrm_paymentinstruments_creditcards_newcreditcard_number_*"]
//*[@id="dwfrm_paymentinstruments_creditcards_newcreditcard_number_[a-zA-Z0-9]"]

According to various selenium documentation I have found, those globbing techniques should work, but they’re not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Not this way, no. But, using the XPath contains() function, you can do

    //*[contains(@id, "dwfrm_paymentinstruments_creditcards_newcreditcard_number_")]
