Shaivya Mahajan commented on WTR-235:
-------------------------------------

I was having some trouble with firewatir and xpath giving unexpected results.
Found this page when searching for answer, and I was able to reproduce this issue with the following code (running waiter 1.6.5):
------------
require "watir"
site = "http://cukes.info"
ie = Watir::IE.new
ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
ie.goto site
ff.goto site
puts "IE: ",ie.div(:xpath, "//div[@class='inner']/").exists?
puts "FF: ",ff.div(:xpath, "//div[@class='inner']/").exists?
------------
output i get is: 
IE: true
FF: false

> Xpath.exist returns different results in Watir and Firewatir.
