Hi Tarun ,

Hello Muazz,

Welcome to group.
If at least a part of of ID is constant then you can try contains or *= in xpath and css respectively.
I could better answer your question on WebTable locator if you post a cut down version of your html for me.

You can right click on the element in firebug and click "copy html" from context menu
See the screen shot. (Context menu is not available tough)
