After I posted this question, I started thinking that the best
solution would be if I could use a regular expression to select the
element:
@browser.div(:id,/^amount_.*/)
or
@browser.div(:class,/.*amount.*/)
So I tried it, and it worked for both Firefox and IE. This may just
be a benefit of using Ruby, or it may have been intentional (I don't
know...I'm a Java guy) but I'm really glad it worked. Hope anyone
else who comes across this question finds this useful.

In the jQuery world, it isn't uncommon for me to dynamically add
classes to an element. Depending on various circumstances, the class
of a div might be something like amount or amount required or
amount required invalid. In my particular situation, the problem is
compounded by the fact that my id is partially made up of a random
number, so I can't simply do div(:id,amount). What I do know is the
first chunk of the id (e.g. it always starts with amount_). I also
know that the class will always contain amount, though it may also
contain additional classes. An example:
div id=amount_1239783 class=required amount invalid.../div
1. I've tried to do @ff.div(:class,amount) but it only works if they
other classes haven't been added
2. I know I can do @ff.div(:class,required amount invalid) but
sometimes the classes get added in a different order (and some classes
don't get added every time, so maintaining all the possible
combinations is ridiculous)
3. I know I can do each through the divs looking to see if the class
contains the given value, or the id starts with amount, but that seems
excessive
Does anyone know if there is a simple way to do this?
