Thanks Rob, but I don't quite get it... When I run the following in
console:

$x(/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/
table/tbody/tr/td/div/div/div/form/div[10]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/
input);

I get "SyntaxError: invalid regular expression in flag b".

I'm not familiar with the firebug console--what exactly is $x() doing?

Thanks!
