That makes sense but then it makes my findings even more interesting. I've found a site where the locators just don't seem to work no matter what, at least when using Watir. It's https://www.vokal.io/.
If you try to use something like browser.link(text: "Services").click, it says: "element located, but timed out after 30, seconds." If I do the more generic element: browser.element(link_text: "Services").click, I get: "timeout after 30 seconds." (So it just couldn't find it at all.) The content isn't in an iframe or anything like that. So I don't think this is an issue with the context. And, in the first exasmple I showed above, it did say "element located" but timed out. It's not clear why it couldn't click the element. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
