[wtr-general] Re: while ie.contains_text(Next) loop problem
Seems to me that the letters 'next' might be rather common to find on
a lot of pages, and are you SURE it's not there even if perhaps part
of another word?
If the 'next' is a clickable link or button , then perhaps you'd be
better off to look to see if the link exists?
while browser.link(:text, 'Next').exists?
or
while browser.button(:text, 'Next').exists?
That's a lot less likely to give you a false hit on some other aspect
of the page contents

I have below WATIR code, which will download series of web pages by

However, below code keeps running and goes on presenting the last page
that does not contain the text Next. It seems to me that the while
condition is true to the page right before the last page, and this
page right before the last page contains the text, Next, and it
never goes out of the loop, [ ... while ie.contains_text
(Next)..].
Is there anyway to make it get out of the loop? The last page surely
does not contain the text, Next, but it seems to me that below code
does not detect it.
Any help / suggestion will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you.

Another thought is that the word 'next' could be hidden in the html,
although I'm not sure if Watir searches for hidden text.
