Finding XPath on Selenium

please help me. Actually I want to find element locator in selenium using XPath since the id is auto-generate (the ID always changed when the page refresh). but the XPath always changed too. here is the XPath locator :

html/body/div[4]/div/div[1]/div/table[1]/tbody[2]/tr[1]/td/div/nobr
html/body/div[4]/div/div[1]/div/table[1]/tbody[2]/tr[1]/td/div/nobr
html/body/div[15]/div/div[1]/div/table[1]/tbody[2]/tr[1]/td/div/nobr
html/body/div[7]/div/div[1]/div/table[1]/tbody[2]/tr[1]/td/div/nobr

Actually I already try to use :

html/body/div[class='scrollingMenu']/div/div[1]/div/table[1]/tbody[2]/tr[1]/td/div/nobr

the div itself has unique classname scrollingMenu. but it is not working. it always give the error element not found.

You can use element's id in your XPath as follow:

Suppose id="constantPart-generatedPart12345", then XPath is

//*[contains(@id, "constantPart-")]

PS. If this not works, update your question with HTML for target element, so I can edit XPath appropriatelly

Open the page in Google Chrome and use F12 to test your xPath before implementing it - has saved me a lot of time
