This isn't valid HTML, as the error message points out. Since the
parent span is unique, I would in this case start from that and locate
the first span inside it:
browser.span(:id => "macbodypage").span.text
Calling #span without arguments assumes you want the first one. If you
*really* need to locate elements using invalid attributes, you can
always use an XPath:
browser.span(:xpath => "//span[@class='macstring' and
@string='create_user']").text
or iterate through them in Ruby, using Watir::Element#attribute_value
to get to fetch the invalid attribute:
span = browser.spans(:class => "macstring").find { |e|
e.attribute_value("string") == "create_user" }
span || raise("couldn't find span")
span.text
