Using SpySmith the content of this link looks like this.

<SPAN class=b>Ingleside</SPAN> </A>
When I run the show_spans() command on the desired frame, I see something like the following:
----
Found 12 span tags
1 id=_ctl0_BorrowerList1_lblBorrowerListTitle class=
2 id= class=
3 id= class=HeaderHiliteClass
4 id= class=
5 id= class=GroupClass
6 id= class=
7 id= class=GroupClass
8 id= class=
9 id= class=GroupClass
10 id= class=
11 id= class=
12 id= class=

Unfortunately the Span method only (currently) allows for the following 3 "how" attributes: :index, :id, :name, but I would need something like the ":text" attribute to identify it by the text contained within the Span tags.
I decided to capture the text contents to a hash/dictionary array to associate them with their index numbers. That way I can use the Span method by :index to flash and click the desired span tags. Here's my code:
----
# variables
$C_Tree_h = Hash.new()
last_item = $ie.frame("ContextTree").spans.length - 3 # This frame always has 3 extra Spans at the end
# Populate the Hash/Dictionary with the index numbers and text contents of every other Span in this Frame
3.step(last_item, 2) { |x| $C_Tree_h[x] = $ie.frame("ContextTree").span(:index, x).text() }
# then navigate to the desired spot with:
$ie.frame("ContextTree").span(:index, $C_Tree_h.index("Span Tag Text")).click
----
The first 3 lines (ignoring the comments) are setup and I only need to run them once on the frame when I enter the page. The last command I can run as many times as I want to navigate the Context Tree with the unidentifiable Span tags.
I plan to make a method out of these lines to clean up the code a bit, but I'm currently busy testing another project. I'll get to it later.
Hope that helps. Cheers.
Paul.
P.S., FEATURE REQUEST:
If I could make a request to improve the Span method, it would be to add ":text" to the "how". That would be sweet!
