  • but the question says "But, the ID appears to be randomly generated each time the page is loaded (so I believe referencing the ID will not work)." Commented Aug 13, 2010 at 18:36
  • John, you are correct -- the links get a random number assigned to them each time you open the page. This method is what I keep coming across in my searches but I can't figure out another way to implement it without using the ID. The 'cases_ss_733' is always the same, I just don't know how that could be used. Commented Aug 13, 2010 at 18:54
  • @John. Yes you're right, but the randomly generated id portion was added after my initial response. @Josh. Could you identify the link by the InnerText value? Commented Aug 13, 2010 at 19:13
  • I believe that has me really close Garett! Thank you for following up. I tested it and I did not work but I believe that's because the My Assigned link is buried within an iFrame. I tried inserting a MessageBox.Show(link.InnerText) above the if statement and nothing came up. So then I did a View Source on the frameset page and ran a find for <a and nothing came up. So that makes sense but now the question is, can I get to the link that's embedded in an iFrame. (and thank you so much for the help!) Commented Aug 13, 2010 at 21:59
  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I finally figured out it was buried under and additional frame. Once I got drilled down into the second level of frames I found the My Assigned link. Thanks again Garett! Commented Aug 16, 2010 at 19:32
