What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ff.link(:text, "Sign Out").click
2. The value of ":text" is "Sign Out " with a trailing white space.

It should click on the named link

Do you think that should work?
ff.link(:text, "Sign Out") and ff.link(:text, "Sign Out ") are two different 
things
as per me. You are using exact comparison for finding out the link.

I agree with what you have to say. However Internet explorer (I mean Watir 1.5) 
does 
work with both the notations. Hence the scripts that are developed to run on 
both IE 
and Firefox tend to fail with FireFox.

Wondering what could be the solution to this compatibility issue.

You are right, this could be a simple fix. But still I am confused :).

I think it works fine. Code already takes care of striping trailing and leading 
white
spaces from link text before comparing it. Can you just send me the HTML of the 
link.

Please visit the following site.

www.webmail.aol.in
and login using "kiranyajamanyam" as the Login ID and "chinnu" as the password.

Once you are in please locate a link named "Sign Out". For window details refer 
to 
the screen shot in the attachment.

Hi,

Could you let me know what necesary changes should be done and in which file. 
This 
issue is blocking porting of the testcases. If you could let me know the 
changes, 
that would be of great help to me.

I think the site uses AJAX. We are currently working on how to support AJAX.
