I still haven't figured this out. Perhaps I should phrase the question a different way... What is the preferred method of extracting the href attribute from a link? I've tried doing it using .search() and searching for the xml @href attribute. For some reason that's not working for me. Is there a different way of extracting this attribute, without using .search and an xml path? I'm sure mechanize has some other method too... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
