element in watir wiki

Hi!
Since you're already using a regex, could you do this:
browser.span(:text, /butterfly/).click
or do you have multiple spans with 'butterfly' in the text? If so,
could you specify the one you want using it's index?
browser.span(:text => /butterfly/, :index => 3).click
Also, it might help
The (?-mix stuff is just the string representation of the regexp - you can
see this on any regexp doing #to_s:
>> /foo/.to_s
=> "(?-mix:foo)"
But, I don't have anything more useful to add; I don't really know anything
about safariwatir - sorry.

Unfortunately that didn't work either. I did this:
browser.span(:text, /butterfly\.m4v/).click and got this:
Unable to locate Span element with text of (?-mix:butterfly\.m4v)
I'm not sure what the ?-mix: part of that is. Anything else you can
recommend?

That will probably not fix it as the regex dot will match the literal dot,
so it should still work as-is.

The dot character in a regex (.) is a wildcard so you need to escape
it. Try this:
browser.span(:text, /butterfly\.m4v/).click

I cannot add an id as I don't have control over code decisions
unfortunately. So I am forced to work with what I have.
I also tried this: browser.span(:text, /butterfly.m4v/).click which
gives me this:
Unable to locate Span element with text of (?-mix:butterfly.m4v)
and this: browser.span(:titl
Hmm... I am not sure why it cannot find the span.
Does it seem to only be a problem when finding by text?Can you add
an id to that span?Does it work when searching for it by id?
Looking for a little more information.
