I am testing a web based document management system that assigns a unique “Document Id” to each document upon creation. Unfortunately viewing source on the page is not an option, but
ie.html does give me the html source, however, in one continuous string.

Executing ie.show_all_objects on the page after creating a new document results in a list of about a dozen document records with their unique document id’s (below represents the first record):

Name=
Id=
Checkbox
Name=DOCID-EFG-123-0
Id=remove
Value=on
Alt=
Src=

Question: What would be the WATIR and/or RUBY syntax to get this 1st occurrence of the “Document Id” (in this case DOCID-EFG-123-0) into a variable called document-id and then back out to be used in subsequent scripts that require the document-id as input?

Note: I was able to accomplish this using Selenium, but WATIR was more versatile with things such as multiple pop-up window handling.
