You probably want to avoid xpath. I've never once needed to use it with Watir.
If you need to you can use multiple selectors or daisy-chain elements.
ie.goto('http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=MSFT')
ie.link(:text, 'Profile').click

Subject: [wtr-general] Hard to get to link
Hi-
Could someone help me get to the link for company address on Yahoo
Finance profile page?
Thank you,
Mark
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.new
ie.goto("http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=MSFT+Profile";)
#puts ie.link(:xpath,"//a[contains(@href,'country=')]/").href
#puts ie.link(:xpath, "/html/body/div[3]/div[4]/table[2]/tbody/tr[2]/
td/a").href
#puts ie.link(:url, /country/).href
#puts ie.cell(:class, "yfnc_modtitlew1").link(:url, /country/).href
