Selenium will be able to locate the element using various methods –
1. id,
2. name,
3. xpath,
4. css id.
The best practice would be to add a name to that element and then let the id be generated randomly. You can then identify the element by name(if you are using selenium plugin for firefox, record a test case and go to that element and the plugin will give you options to chose another identifier if you wish to). But in most cases of dynamic web pages, selenium starts looking for the element even before it’s generated or loaded. The trick is to ask selenium to wait till the element/page is loaded completely. You can use waitForElementPresent() method. This method will solve 90% of your problems
