Ah - I just looked at your html source and it's not a span.
Sorry for the wild guess.
Can you get IE Dev Toolbar or Firebug output for the row or element
you're trying to select?
You can parse through the rows in your table like this:
my_table = browser.table(:id, 'table id')
my_table.rows.each do |row|
if row.text.include?('Wilmington')
row.fire_event('onmouseover')
end
end
The row.fire_event('onmouseover') line will depend on what information
you get from IE Dev Toolbar or Firebug. How does the user interact
with the row? Do they just click on it? You might be able to send a
left click or enter with send_keys to select it.
