Hi Brian, Your xpath to finding the text string might look like this: /html/body/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/a
xpath to find text: /html/body/table/tbody/tr/td[3] I find things a lot easier when I assign id's/name's to the element I am working with so as to navigate to it faster. -Steve C On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 3:53 PM, Hurst, Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm new to webtest, and a horrible programmer.
