If the ñ character is anywhere in my html file, it appears to be
breaking the xpath selectors I'm using. Here's an example of what I'm
running into.
If I have the following html file:
<html>
<body>
<form id="frmNavigate">
<input type="hidden" name="name1" value="value1" />
<input type="hidden" name="name2" value="value2" />
</form>
<div>
<div>Español</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And use this selector:
x = ie.hidden(:xpath, "//inp...@name='name1']")
x.exists? will return this error:
irb(main):203:0> x.exists?
REXML::ParseException: #<REXML::ParseException: Missing end tag for
'div' (got "
body")

However, if I remove the ñ and use the same selector, x.exists? will
return true. I haven't found anything about this issue on the
internet or in this newsgroup. Is this a known bug and is there a
workaround? Or am I just missing something?
Thanks for your help!
