Question

I have a webpage which has tab list, the HTML looks like this for this piece:

<div id="content">
<div class="col span-6">
<div class="section first no-border">
<h2>New Search</h2>
<ul class="tabs clear">
<li id="simple-li" class="current">
<a onclick="switch_search_type('SimpleSearch');; return false;" href="#">Simple</a>
</li>
<li id="structured-li">
<a onclick="redirect_to_search('/search/structured_searches/new'); return false;"     href="#">Wizard</a>
</li>
<li id="advanced-li" class="">
</li>
<li id="custom-li" class="">
<a onclick="switch_search_type('ComplexQuerySearch');; return false;" href="#">Custom</a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="tabbed-panel">

I want to select the “Custom” item in this tab list. I tried multiple things but have failed, some of the things I tried:

browser.li(:id, "custom-li").click
browser.select_list(:id, "custom-li").set("Custom")
browser.link(:xpath, "id('custom-li')/x:a").click
browser.select_list(:id => 'custom-li').select "Custom"

I am new to watir-webdriver. Any feedback and help is greatly appreciated.

Try this:

browser.a(:text => "Custom").click
