I'm trying to check if a field is populated on a page. This command
works fine and returns "found it":

if ie.text_field(:value,'some value').exists?
  puts 'found it"
else
  puts "did not find it"
end

However this one doesn't:

if ie.text_field(:id,"mytextfield").value == 'some value'
  puts 'found it"
else
  puts "did not find it"
end

If I understand correctly the first example is looking for ALL text
fields on the page to see if any of them have "some value". The second
is more specific and is looking at a particular text field.

I know for certain that "mytxtfield" contains the text I am looking
for ...
