Hi Phlip,
Thank you for your dot!!!
I follow your suggestion and change to '.header'  or ".header" instead of "#header" and and it works. Ruby returns the tag's path like this:  /tag1/tag2/div. But I see nowhere in the document about  using "." and "#" in xpath() or css_path(). Do I miss something in the docucment?
