I generally love that Wix obfuscates the element ID of the published version of the website. However, I’m trying to create my own custom login form, and I’d like it to allow LastPass to automatically fill it in. But as I understand it, LastPass pretty much requires that either the field IDs or name…

The IDs of page elements cannot be changed in code. They can only be changed in the visual Editor. Of course, if you have code that uses an element, and you change the element’s name, you’ll have to also adjust your code.

You can’t change anything on a published website just so you can get your LastPass app to work with a Wix website instead of you having to type in your email and password. If you were designing your own website then Wix lets you rename the element id name so that you can use whatever you want for e…

Is there a way to auto increment custom element ids and assign them. I am trying to create a dynamic slide show as per this https://www.wix.com/corvid/example/dynamic-slideshow . Every time I add a new slide or duplicate a slide from Wix editor, it assigns a random ids. Say on a slide I give a te…

For #text1 through #text5, something like this will work: for(let i = 1; i <=5; i++) { $w(`#text${i}`).show(); }

I would like to follow up on this. What I am looking for is a way to use a link to a certain section of the (one pager) main page like mysite.com#prices that can be shared. Unfortunately wix give you the ability to change ids of elements in the visual editor, but these seem to be for internal use…
