[Wtr-general] How to verify if SPAN is visible

[Charley Baker]

Walking the tree is encapsulated inside the code, it's not advanced. Pull
the code from the page:
http://wiki.openqa.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1119
Put it somewhere in your ruby load path, current directory works.

Save the file to watir_ext.rb in your test directory, then use the following
to try it out.

require 'watir'
require 'watir_ext'
include Watir

ie = IE.new
ie.goto("www.someplace.com")
button = ie.button(:id, 'somebutton')
if button.visible?
  button.click
else
  ie.close
end
