Hello,
You can use a XPath expression to get to the element you want.
This worked for me, using the HTML piece of code you provided:
--
require "rubygems"
require "watir"
@ie = Watir::IE.new
@ie.goto "file://c:/test.html"
@text = @ie.element_by_xpath("//span[contains(.,'Test
1')]/following::td[1]")
puts @text.innerText
---
Regards,
FK
