Select item based on revolving identifier.

[Kamakazy]

Hey Guys & Girls.

Yet another obsticle Im faced with.

First the HTML.

<input type="button" value="I Agree" class="Next inputSubmit" id="Next_12961042">

As you can see, this is indeed a button, and yes, not in a form or anything usefull exept for the "ID".

Now the snag, the ID changes very often, but only the number part. the "Next_" stays the same.

I wanted to use _IEGetObjByName but obviously that wont work as there is no Name.

If I hit the obj based on full ID, it clics but like I said, the numbers change.

Is there a way that I can hook onto the "Next_" regardless of what is behind it. a wildcard of some sort?

Im not asking for you to write me the code, just push me in the right direction.

Please shout if im too vague.

Kama.

you can loop through the collection (use .getElementsByTagName()), or use my signature to use the xpath to get the object.

where

xpath = "//input[contains(@id,'Next_')]"

the return is an array
