Hi Angrez. Ahhh.. yes I used the wrong Xpath query.
I’ll double check that from now on. One thing that would help me is a unittest
that specifically exercises the element_by_xpath call. I didn’t find one with the
Watir 1081 gem install. Maybe you have one lying around somewhere? I’m still getting the same error (from
original message) with the call on my machine though. REXML::ParseException. I ran the unittests for REXML, and they
mainly passed. (The ones that failed appear to be missing the test files in
the REXML 3.1.5 distribution). I’m going to have to investigate this a
little more on my end. Thanks -Alan From:
