Ok, so I'm down to just seeking the answer which, for me at this time, is 
the best teacher.
 
So go to quibids.com, click one of the items on auction.  See the "Bidding 
History" table?  I'm trying to get the value, programatically, of the first 
name in the list.  I used the following:
 
irb(main):020:0> puts b.text_field(:id => 'bhu_1').value
 
and received:

Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate element, using 
{:tag_
name=>["text", "password", "textarea"], :id=>"bhu_1"}
        from 
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-classic-3.3.0/lib/watir-c
lassic/element.rb:66:in `assert_exists'
        from (eval):3:in `value'
        from (irb):20
        from C:/Ruby193/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
 
Thanks.
