Indexes start at 0, so that's part of the problem.
>> b.table(:index, 0).text.include?('housing')
=> true
>> b.table(:index, 1).text.include?('housing')
=> false
Also, you're better off using something like the exists method. I think
someone else can explain why located=false much better than I can, but I'm
sure that's been answered before on this forum.
>> b.table(:index, 0)
=> #<Watir::Table:0x1010e1c60 located=false selector={:tag_name=>"table",
:index=>0}>
>> b.table(:index, 0).exists?
=> true
