Well this works

require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'

xml = '<doc><p id="a124">this is a paragraph</p><ul id="b234567"><li
id="a4563">list item</li></ul></doc>'
doc = Nokogiri::XML(xml)

node = doc.search("//*[@id='b234567']").first
puts node
puts node.name

Once you have the node then the name method will tell you the element type.

NEVER USE A REGEX!!!!!
