Hi all,

I am using watir , in that have a scenario where they change a innertext  
of div tag using javascript.Some thing like  
Onclick of button they change innertext of div tag. I want to find that  
dynamic div tag using the innertext (Inner text will be known & it’s  
expected result),please some body tell how to solve this problem.

Note : Dynamic Div tag means they are generating div tag using  
javascript at runtime.

thanks  
Vinod
