Are you sure this is the cause of the problem? It looks like `#text_field` won't even try `//textarea[@value='...']` atm, but translates it to `//textarea[text()='...']`. And the original issue is using regexps, where we already are forced to pull out :value and do the iteration + attribute() check. > P.S.

No need to dig through the internals. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/watir/watir-webdriver/issues/163#issuecomment-12381752
