That API is linked from the https://github.com/watir/watir-webdriver link. Scroll down to README.md for the link. Is there a link to a more current version?
Also right at the top of the page at the new link is a link to the old one. No wonder I'm confused. Thanks for sorting that out. :) I was trying to find out about that "bubble" and I think that is what lets the click through to a parent item.
