如何获得的文本值 <legend> 在ruby watir中使用xpath标记。（使用IE）

Question

I have following code in my ie web page. I want text value of tag (means "ABCD:"). I am using ruby watir for that.

<fieldset>
<legend class="fieldset">ABCD:</legend>
<fieldset>

I have tried with below code, but I don't why its not working and giving error(undefined method `text' for nil:NilClass)

ie.element_by_xpath("//legend[contains(@class, 'fieldset')]/").text

Is there any other way or is there anything wrong in my code.

Answer 1

Is that the only time the class of 'fieldset' is used on the page?

The list of supported elements shows unknown for Watir and supported for Watir-Webdriver for the legend tag.

Have you tried using Watir-Webdriver and code along these lines?

puts browser.legend(:class => 'fieldset').text

That's cleaner, easier to read, and will likely be faster. Only resort to using xpath if nothing else works
