That won't ever work Basim, because per HTML standards ID values are supposed to be unique within a page.
In this case the page has malformed HTML, it's not valid. That's a bug that should be filed and the page code corrected so that ID values are not repeated within the page. It's ok to repeat parameters such as name or class, but ID, in order for the page to be valid HTML, MUST be unique. Watir presumes valid html, when selecting by ID, it returns the first object found, no matter the element type, with that ID value. You cannot combine ID with other values (because you should never NEED to do that) like Index Have the developers fix the page so the HTML is no longer invalid, or select the elements via other identifiers as Zeljko suggests in his responses.
