I have ported Support for XPATH in Watir by Angrez Singh to wiki format. Take a look: XPath Support.
I was trying example from What to do for elements not having class in Watir section and for this HTML:
Watir always returned nil:
ie.element_by_xpath(”//area[contains(@href , 'PieChart.html')]/”)
# => nil
I asked Angrez am I doing something wrong and he replied to check if generated HTML (that is rendered in the browser) is the same as source HTML.
Brilliant!
There seems to be a bug in Internet Explorer 7 (IE). If you create HTML file with above HTML (only that code, do not add anything else) IE puts map tag inside head tag.

Firefox 2 puts it inside body tag, of course.

The workaround is to put map tag explicitly inside body tag.

I usually search application logs using Windows Explorer and it works fine. But this time, I tried to search for string @domain and Search Companion pop up appeared with error message “The Indexing Service query cannot be completed successfully because the volumes you have specified are not indexed.” I knew that there was nothing wrong with indexing because all other searches were working fine.
Google search found a page Unsolved Annoyances that said you will get that error message if you search for strings that start with either of following characthers: !#@

I inserted my Windows CD in CD drive, right-clicked it and selected Properties from context menu. It said: “Used space: 573 MB”. Then I selected all files and folders at that drive, right-clicked and selected Properties. It said “Size: 815 MB”. Strange. CD has maximum capacity of 700 MB, right?
