for some reason my code is ending prematurly and I cant figure out
why. It happens every time it hits a certain part of the page I'm
parsing, but that part has the same format as all the others. Any clue
why this is happening?
(page source can be found in the url in the code thats not commented)
I did find one answer a few pages back but they involved closing IE

So im running a script that goes to MANY webpages and I noticed that
each web page it goes to it still stores the information so that I can
go "back" causing the IE process to take up slightly more memory each
page it goes to. Is there a solution to this that doesn't require me
to close the browse
locate the element.

The only thing I can think of is that its trying to call the above
with numstring = to 03, not finding it on the page and crashing.
however thats what the If is there to prevent. Any ideas or tips?

Granted I am new to Watir and ruby in general but I do have a
background of programming. My brief experience has been that watir and
ruby are awesome but VERY poorly documented, which is odd concidering
the massive amount of web pages dedicated to it.
anyway, here is the issue I am having.
