What is the use of attribute when working with selectors?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Introducing Non-Greedy search in your selectors instructs it to search through all the active windows or browser instances that match the top-level tags of your selector, and not just the window instances in focus. Non-Greedy search makes use of theidx()attribute, which needs to be included in the top-level tag, as follows:

<idx='*'>searches through all active window instances for the element matching the top-level tag attributes.

Please note that the<idx='1'>option only searches through window instances in focus.

Haha, B) is a bit of a stretch. Searching through all window instances? That's overkill for a simple selector.
