Another way of checking for text (when you don't care about which particular
element is displaying it) is:
@browser.text =~ /Welcome/

I have reviewed many posts, but am unable to get passed this. I am basically
trying to verify if the text on the web page is displayed. The text is
"Welcome" under a span id element. It is not clear what the syntax should be
when referencing the text under the span id. I get an error that reads that it
cannot find my element. Is there a special format I should follow? I am new
to Watir and struggling to find documentation on how to identify elements. I
find the documentation, but when I put into practice, I get this error. Thanks.
