The reason code like this
puts $browser.dt(:text,"Account ID").dd(:xpath,"following-
sibling::*").text
is failing is because you are in effect saying, take this DT element I've
identifed, look INSIDE it for a DD that is defined thusly But the DD is a
sibling of the DT, not contained within the DT, so it's never going to get
found that way.
If you want to look for something using an xpath statement using a
following-sibling specifier, you'd want to look inside the DL, and fully
specify the sibling object..
