Jan 29, 2010 11:13am

martinottenwaelter: If you’re trying to automate tests of your SproutCore application with Selenium, for example, you’ll realise that the HTML element ids are automatically generated. They change every now and then and break all your tests. To get rid of this problem, you can override the layerId method of certain view classes...
