I agree with you Angrez, about seeing the same thing differently, but when we are coding in gem would it be a good idea to forcefully insert a line break or remove a line break when we are trying to fetch the text?
so as to make the results similar for watir, firewatir and other browser version of watir? Is it this what you would do? Rgds Pallavi.
