this line
str_value=$browser.span(:id,
"MainLogin_UserNameRequired").attribute_value("style")
has given you the whole IE style object, you need to get the visibility part of
it
str_value=$browser.span(:id,
"MainLogin_UserNameRequired").attribute_value("style").invoke("cssText")
might give you what you want ( as a string, then use a regexp on it)
or try
str_value=$browser.span(:id,
"MainLogin_UserNameRequired").attribute_value("style").invoke("VISIBILITY")
may hvae to try lowercase as well
I had to do something like this ages ago, and I think I used the cssText method
