The error you are getting could also be cause by mal-formed
HTML in your page. For instance if all your html tags do not have
corresponding ending tags then it may work fine in IE but anything remotely
XML/XSL-ish will not work.

Second,
due to the XPath performance issue I was starting to look at using ole_object
method. I'm trying to execute the following statement in my Watir script:
ie.cell(:text,
"Reassign").ole_object().parentElement().parentElement().click()
I
want to go up 2 levels from the td containing "Reassign" and click
that element.
I
know that the cell is found successfully as I can flash it but when I execute
the statement I get the following error:
undefined
method `parentElement' for nil:NilClass
c:/Watir/examples/scratch.rb:17
I'm
guessing this means the ole_object() method is not returning anything. What am
I doing wrong?
It could be that the call to ole_object() is returning nil, or that the first
call to parentElement() is returning nil.
When you say "up 2 levels" what do you mean? do you mean the table
containing the row containing the cell?
Another
approach you can take is to do something like this:
# click on the row containing the Reassign cell
ie.rows.find {|r| r.cell(:text, "Reassign")}.click
