Aliaksandr Palanetski commented on WTR-422:
-------------------------------------------
if <element1> is valid html element it can be identified using its inner text
with xpath:
ole_el = browser.element_by_xpath('//*[contains(text(), "text1")]/')
\# html_el = Watir::Element.new ole_el
> Need a feature to identify unknown element using inner_text

> Hi,
> It would be really nice if a method is provided to identify any element using
> inner_text. Right now one has to know the type of element one is looking for
> to begin with. e.g. div or td or tr. But it is not possible to traverse back
> from the inner_text and get the element.
> e.g. What I am asking for is :
> <element1> text1 </element1>
> to be able to get <element1> by matching text1 even though I do not know what
> is the type of <element1> is.
> Best regards,
> Nick
