Hi Derek!
Thank you so much. This works just run it:
b.element(:xpath => "//span[@name='header2']").click
I just thought that maybe a simple way and not to use the entire full path.
<div id="mceu_41" class="mce-container mce-panel mce-floatpanel mce-menu
mce-menu-align" role="application" tabindex="-1" hidefocus="1"
style="border-width: 1px; z-index: 65535; left: 33px; top: 206.433px;
width: 1391px; display: none;">
<div id="mceu_41-body" class="mce-container-body mce-stack-layout"
role="menu" style="width: 1391px;">
<div id="mceu_42" class="mce-menu-item mce-menu-item-normal
mce-first mce-stack-layout-item" tabindex="-1" role="menuitem"
aria-checked="false" aria-pressed="false"></div>
<div id="mceu_43" class="mce-menu-item mce-menu-item-normal
mce-stack-layout-item mce-active" tabindex="-1" role="menuitem"
aria-checked="true" aria-pressed="true">
<i class="mce-ico mce-i-none"></i>
<span id="mceu_43-text" class="mce-text"
style="font-family:serif;font-size:24px;font-weight:700;font-style:…ransparent;border:;border-radius:;outline:;text-shadow:none;"
name="header2">
Header 2
</span>
</div>
<div id="mceu_44" class="mce-menu-item mce-menu-item-normal
mce-stack-layout-item" tabindex="-1" role="menuitem" aria-checked="false"
aria-pressed="false"></div>
<div id="mceu_45" class="mce-menu-item mce-menu-item-normal
mce-stack-layout-item" tabindex="-1" role="menuitem" aria-checked="false"
aria-pressed="false"></div>
<div id="mceu_46" class="mce-menu-item mce-menu-item-normal
mce-stack-layout-item" tabindex="-1" role="menuitem" aria-checked="false"
aria-pressed="false"></div>
