Why is the Menu component missing an Id tag? It is true that id's are as necessary as they were in .NET Framework, however, for testing purposes (Selenium), id's are somewhat necessary for finding things whether they are visible or not visible.

Hi Matt,

Currently, mostly the input components have IDs, while the others don't specifically need them, except for testing scenarios, as you pointed out.

We have a feature request about component IDs, which is awaiting prioritization. In the meantime, you can use unique CSS classes, which all the components support.
