What are you using to parse the web page: Nokogiri? Mechanize? Hpricot?

Using one of these, you should be able to use CSS or XPATH selectors to
select the nth row, and/or iterate over all the rows of the table so you
can process each one in turn.

For those of us who know Ruby, it's very difficult to decipher what
you are actually trying to do.

What do you mean pick "the value". Which value?

In what context are you doing this? Brian's answer was, I think, based
on the assumption that you are somehow trying to parse this xml/xhtml
in Ruby, and he suggested looking at one of the several xml parsing
libraries for Ruby, the most popular being nokogiri.

On the other hand maybe you're trying to 'pick' the right button to
push for some kind of automated testing, using say webrat.

In any case I suspect that this is more of a css/xpath selector
question than a Ruby question, but from the little you've told us so
far it's hard, if not impossible to tell.
