Hi,

i cannot click links in mechanize through their text content.

i tried the following but get error with link_with(:text => '') method
or using the whole text content obtained through nokogiri parser method
css('a.l') that points to google results.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks for input

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
$KCODE='UTF8'

@agent= WWW::Mechanize.new
@page=@agent.get('http://www.google.com/search?q=parsing')

puts @agent.click @page.link_with(:text => 'parsing') <===??

@page.parser.css('a.l').each do |l| puts @agent.click(l).inner_text end
<===??

There is no link with text 'parsing'. Just tried that google search
and there's a 'Parsing' result on the first page.
@page.link_with(:text => 'Parsing') returns a WWW::Mechanize::Page::Link
