Some javascript frameworks like angular can overwrite the tag's id getter, and comparison can turn into a false negative. Newly added elements don't have the framework's code initialised yet, and calling id on those elements can differ from the id assigned via angular. Since there is no way to have frameworks initialised on the new elements, calling the
id
can be inconsistent. UsinggetAttribute("id")
ensures that we always compare the html id attributes.See this issue for more details: #130
