select by id

Hi
I would like to select an element, say a div, but in fact any element.
The documentation for _div (I can't post the link as the forum won't let me as a new member!) says that it takes the text content of the div as the identifier. But some posts I've read on the web suggest that you can select by id.
How would I select an element by id?
Thank you

Accessor APIs in Sahi take an identifier and an optional DOM relation as parameters. In the case of a div element, the identifiers can be index, id or the text in the element.
So you could use _div("text content") or _div("id assigned")
Note: If the id is dynamic, I would suggest that you use UI relations to identify elements.
Please refer this article to understand how Sahi can access elements on the browser.
