One other way is to use the element method 'attribute_value'
so assuming your first level child divs have some attribute,
<div id=1>
<div xyz='abc'/>
<div xyz='def'>
<div/>
<div/>
</div>
<div/>
</div>
this code will work
ie.div(:id, 1).divs do |child|
if child.attribute_value('xyz') =~ /[a-z0-9]+/ # the + on the regexp
makes sure its not mathing blank xyz's
pp child
end
end
the best part is, the attributes on your top level child divs can be
anything,
using it at the moment to get a dojo attribute called 'widgetid'
Its working under firefox, have yet to test it with IE
