Using your example HTML, you can verify the contents of the text field
with either of the following:
assert(ie.text_field(:id, 'ctl140_ctl00_ctl09_txtValue').value ==
'FOO')
or
assert(ie.text_field(:name, 'ctl140$ctl00$ctl09$txtValue').value
== 'FOO')
You identify the text field by either the id or the name, and output
the value attribute.
