Thank you all for replying to this thread and answering my question.<br><br>

Angrez, I had difficulty using 'attribute_value'.  Here is how I used it along 
with the html code.<br><br>

HTML Code:<br>
<tTD><iINPUT id=MainLogin_UserName name=MainLogin$UserName> <sSPAN 
id=MainLogin_UserNameRequired title="User Name is required." style="VISIBILITY: 
hidden; COLOR: red" controltovalidate="MainLogin_UserName" errormessage="User 
Name is required." validationGroup="MainLogin" initialvalue 
isvalid="true">*</sSPAN></tTD></tTR><br><br>

Ruby/Watir Code:<br>
   str_value=$browser.span(:id, 
"MainLogin_UserNameRequired").attribute_value("style")<br>
   puts str_value
<br><br>

Output:<br>
#<WIN32OLE:0x2c4d108>
<br><br>

I do have two solutions that work (see below) but I'm curious of how this might 
work.  One other thing, for others, is the 'attribute_value' does not work for 
Watir version 1.4; use 1.5.<br><br>

Zeljko, thanks this worked.<br><br>

nchristie, thanks this worked.<br><br>

I did not try the 'walk DOM tree for checking of disabled or non-visible 
elements'; this looks 'advanced'. :) <br><br>
