Can't uniquely identify web element

Dylan — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 04:46:00 GMT

Hi there,

I'm trying to spy the output of a currency conversion on https://www.exchange-rates.org, and I can spy the output of a conversion of one currency (any I pick), but as soon as I change the currency and re-run the highlight element, it can't identify it.

I'm not sure what to do, can someone please help?

I've spied a few elements, and none of them work for more than 1 currency.

Flow:

Enter input
Select from currency
Select to currency
Hit convert
Get output result (currency1)

Convert flow2:

Re-enter input
Select from currency
Select to currency
Hit convert
Get output result (currency2)

Won't be able to find the output result of currency2.

What should I do?

Thank you!

I've fixed it... not sure how, but it's fixed. I just respied the element, but I did that multiple times, so I'm not sure.

HI Dylan,

Try using just Web ID attribute to match it (usually this is first thing that I try on web pages). Page Address may be causing Your errors as it will change depending on conversion currencies.

Best regards
Michal
