Selenium get_attribute("id")

I am scraping in Python using Selenium and Firefox.

I am able to get my href’s into an object using the following:

HREF = node.find_elements_by_xpath(".//a") # Get the href's under the current node

Which returns a bunch of <a> tags that look like this:

<a href="http://example.com" class="" title="The Link" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="http://example.com/?preview=1" data-ipshover-timeout="1.5" id="ips_uid_1234_9">
    <span>The Link</span>
</a>

There are multiple links returned, but if I just focus on the first one:

print dir(HREF[0])
print "#########"
print HREF[0].text
print HREF[0].id
print HREF[0].get_attribute("title")
print HREF[0].get_attribute("href")
print HREF[0].get_attribute("data-ipshover-timeout")
print HREF[0].get_attribute("id")
print "#########"

Outputs this:

Note that last attribute print is blank, when is should return ips_uid_1234_9. Every other attribute returns fine, so I’m not sure why "id" won’t return correctly.
