#passing value instead of constant

ruby-talk
1

search="id"
name="text1"
browser.text_field(search, name).flash #is not working, ERROR:invalid
attribute: "id"

but
browser.text_field(:id, name).flash #working

I want something like the first one where I'll pass a string "id" or
class. Isn't it possible?

Is this some kind of rails voodoo? What happens if you switch it to;

search="id"
name="text1"
browser.text_field(search.to_sym, name).flash

In the first example you're using a string, in the second a symbol.
