Let me know canhow I can identify that button so that it will not cause an error even if the id changes

<tr>
  <td/>
  <td>
    <div id="LoginButton" style="float: left;">
      <table style="width: auto;" id="ext-comp-1032" class="x-btn x-btn-noicon x-btn-over x-btn-focus" cellspacing="0">
        <tbody class="x-btn-small x-btn-icon-small-left">
          <tr>
            <td class="x-btn-tl">
              <i>&nbsp;</i>
