Question

Currently I’m doing the following:

if( firstTemp == true )
    total = doc.xpath("//div[@class='pricing  condense']").text
else
    total = doc.xpath("//div[@class='pricing  ']").text
end

I’m wondering is there anyway that I can get mechanize to automatically fetch divs that contain the string “pricing” ?

Answer 1

Is doc a Mechanize::Page? usually the convention is page for those and doc for Nokogiri::HTML::Document. Anyway, for either one try:

doc.search('div.pricing')

For just the first one, use at instead of search:

doc.at('div.pricing')
