Please find the part of an `html` :

       <ul id="globalnav" role="navigation">
        <li id="gn-apple"><a href="/"><span>Apple</span></a></li>
        <li id="gn-store"><a
href="http://store.apple.com/"><span>Store</span></a></li>
        <li id="gn-mac"><a href="/mac/"><span>Mac</span></a></li>
        <li id="gn-ipod"><a href="/ipod/"><span>iPod</span></a></li>
        <li id="gn-iphone"><a
href="/iphone/"><span>iPhone</span></a></li>
        <li id="gn-ipad"><a href="/ipad/"><span>iPad</span></a></li>
        <li id="gn-itunes"><a
href="/itunes/"><span>iTunes</span></a></li>
        <li id="gn-support" class="gn-last"><a
href="/support/"><span>Support</span></a></li>
      </ul>

Can we get the values `ipad,iPod` using `Selenium-webdriver-xpath`
concept?

Thanks,

It's not clear what you want to use a selection criteria. Is it

- the text
- the tag's name
- an attribute value
- an attribute's name
- a combination

?

There are a lot of ruby tools that can do that. Nokogiri can do it easily. Watch this: #190 Screen Scraping with Nokogiri - RailsCasts

I want to get the values as mentioned in the subject using `xpath` with
selenium-webdriver. Any logic is fine,but need to extract the fields
information's.

That does not answer my questions. You want to get those values based
on _what_? As long as you do not describe the criteria I will happily
implement

def get; %w{ipad iPod} end
