Re^5: How to control two tabs at the same time with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox

->is_visible expects your XPath expression to find 0 or 1 element, not more. If you know that there will be zero or multiple elements, you can restrict your XPath expression by using an index:

//a[@class="kl"][1]

It doesn't work if i use `xpath => '//a[@class="kl"][1]'` [download] (i get exactly the same error). But it works when i use `xpath => '//input[@class="gbqfif"]'` [download] which is a unique element in the page. The result is perfect : 2 seconds or less instead of 5 or 6! Thank you so much! I hope you're having good times :o)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

PS: i forgot to say yesterday that in the cookbook (here) the code is (slighly) broken: When $retries reaches 0, then it becomes equal to -1 and the "Timeout" exception is not triggered. It's just a detail, but i thought it might help others if it was fixed : i waited for 10 seconds many times before realizing that is was not the page charging, but just a Timeout.	[reply]
