accessing tableCell through XPath

[Shylaja]

Hi
Iam trying to access the table cell through XPath wiht the following
expression

cell = ie.td(:xpath, "//td[contains(., 'Sales')]/") and get the
following error
undefined method `td' for #<Watir::IE:0x3b94b84> (NoMethodError)

Alternately if i change the expression as
cell = ie.element_by_xpath("//td[contains(text(), 'All
SalesOrders')]/") i always get a return value as NIL.

Is there a way to check if the xpath expression is correct?

try
cell = ie.cell(:xpath, "//td[contains(., 'Sales')]/")

When i try to use this expression i get the following error

ie.cell(:xpath, "//td[contains(., 'Sales')]/").click()

`assert_exists': Unable to locate element, using :xpath, "//td
[contains(., 'Sales')]/" (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
