> 1. Nokogiri doesn't have method find, maybe he is using Capybara.
If so try to find with css since it's simpler:
options[:birthday] = find("span#lblbirthday").text
options[:sexe] = find("span#lblsexe").text
In any case Capybara converts css to xpath when searching.
2. You could do it with Nokogiri too. Here is complete example:
require 'nokogiri'
html = "<div class='floatleft'>
<label for='lblbirthday' id='lblbirthdayLabel'>birthday</label>
<span id='lblbirthday'>6 apr 1961</span>
</div>
<div class='floatleft' style='margin-left: 50px;'>
<label for='lblsexe' id='lblsexeLabel'>sexe</label>
<span id='lblsexe'>Male</span>
</div>"
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(html)
options = {}
options[:birthday] = doc.at_css('span#lblbirthday').content
options[:sexe] = doc.at_css('span#lblsexe').content
options.each { |key, value| puts "#{key}: #{value}" }
It outputs:
birthday: 6 apr 1961
sexe: Male
