I don't thing there is anything like field Id that we have , you can definitly get FieldMap for any Object, using field describe methods. A field map is map of field api name as key and schema.field as value.

like this 
// Get the sObject describe result for the Account object

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe();

// Get the field describe result for the Name field on the Account object

Schema.DescribeFieldResult f = Schema.sObjectType.Account.fields.Name;

// Get the sObject describe result for the Account objectSchema.DescribeSObjectResult r = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe();// Get the field describe result for the Name field on the Account objectSchema.DescribeFieldResult f = Schema.sObjectType.Account.fields.Name;

String fieldAPIName = f.getNae();

The only way I know is to get it from inspect element !! But I don't think there is any way to get it in apex..

 

Thanks

Ankit,

 

           In inspect element we can get id for that lable,not for that field.any way we can get result,but if salesforce provides any method to get id for filed,then we can implement this trick in many situation dynamically.....i hopw it will provides.

 

 

Thanks for reply ankit.
