Hello
I have the following input fields
<input type="text" readOnly="readonly" value="RKmFFz5H"/>
<input type="text" readOnly="readonly" value="t77Gty2G"/>
<input type="text" readOnly="readonly" value="npWX8NNy"/>
and since there is no html id or name, I'm using xpath to find the 2nd input
field
here is my xpath expression that I'm using
//input[@type='text'][1]
here is some of the code
$edit_descriptions["pwd"] = { "xpath" => "//input[@type='text'][1]" }
puts @b.text_field($edit_descriptions["pwd"]).value
This is the exception I'm getting

Any ideas on where I'm going wrong with my xpath expression (I've looked at
the example unittests also) or is there another solution to my problem?
