Hi,

I have a problem using click on webpage,

Is it possible to put a wildcard in the CSS path? Because the CSS code sometimes changes some random number. So when I re-run the bot, it clicks anywhere, not in the point I mapped. 

This is the code:
webClick --selector "CssSelector" --css "#tm1web_workbook_GridPane_0 > div.tm1webGridPaneContainer > div:nth-child(3) > div.tm1webGridCell.s_16874034838120_f_ssS0.s_16874034838120_f_ssS0R4.s_16874034838120_f_ssS0C1.s_16874034838120_f_ss28.tm1webGridCellString" --simulatehuman  --comment SiteCell

Thank you!

Regards,

Hi John! You can definitely make the CSS more dynamic. I would highly recommend trying to make it more specific, like using tags and attributes that are unique to the element you are targeting. Most of the time, using the full CSS selector will result in a match that won't adapt very well to minor website changes.

Here are some strategies you can use to make the selector more robust: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.php

Please note that if you want to also match by text (useful when no tag/attribute can be easily found), then you should consider using XPath instead of CSS.
