I have started using Selenium IDE. I am recording my actions to create tests.

My problem is that it prefers to reference elements by id, but I am using Stripes framework and that tends to give widgets random id’s.

So is there a way to get it to prefer another way to reference an element?

    In the Selenium IDE, if you go to Options -> Options…, you can specify the ordering of the locator builders that the ide will use. Here’s a screenshot below: enter image description here
    Then you can just change the ordering to put id near the bottom if the id is randomly generated.
