Yup:
xpath=(//input[starts-with(@id,'firstName')])[2]
Or as a utility function:
String field(String id, int instance) {
return String.format("xpath=(//input[starts-with(@id,'%s')])[%d]", id,
instance);
}
You can make that more general, as per my previous e-mail, by selecting an
input or a textarea or a select. xpath is a 1-based language, so the second
instance is 2. If you prefer to keep your code consistent with 0-based java,
you could do that easily, as well...
