Thanks for the reply Bret.  I also want to add my .02 that "visible"
is a bit difficult to nail down.  I find the .visible? method to be
pretty good, but not always 100% dependable.  For example, in one of
the apps I test, an element is made not visible by using the zindex
value of -999 to place certain elements behind others, thus making
them not visible to the users, but "visible" in terms of the .visible?
method.  This is a legitimate way of doing things in HTML, but it
would be very difficult to write .visible? to handle this case.

As for IE#text, it seems like using this to detect things on a page is
a recipe for bad things to happen.  I can't see myself being in favor
of it.

Alan
