Tricky.
I would get all the links that match what you want, and then reject any of
them that are inside the table.
The following entirely untested code may work, or at least give you some
ideas - note that it'll only work in IE due to its reliance on
unique_number; if you want to use firewatir, I can't help you; if you want
to use firefox with vapir-firefox I can come up with something that'll
work.
# get the links that match what I want:
links = browser.links.select{|link| link.href
=~ /imperativeMain.*do.*?navTrailRequired=/ }
# get the table
table = browser.table(:id, 'breadcrumbTable')
# get the links in the table, that I don't want
table_links = table.links.select{|link| link.href
=~ /imperativeMain.*do.*?navTrailRequired=/ }
# reject the table links, matching on unique_number
good_link = links.detect do |link| # find the first link ...
!table_links.any? do |table_link| # where there aren't any links inside
the table ...
table_link.unique_number == link.unique_number # with the same unique
number
end
end
