Nathan,
Thanks for your reply.
There is no actual <A> tag that I see in the IE toolbar.
The HTML structure that I have posted with original message is the one
I see in IE toolbar and the places where I have put "..." between
<DIV> tags..there are more divs there.I don't know how to attach a
screenshot here otherwise I can attach the Excite Mail page and you
can see how things are rendered.
Also I was wondering how div(:class, "NavigationLink") would find the
"Logout" link only because there are other divs defined with the same
class.
Thanks,
Nisha
