title: Unable to locate an element implemented as Span with Selenium WebDriver (Java)
body: <p>When recorded in Selenium IDE, the result is this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>click
    //span[@id='some_text']/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/th/hd/font/span/acronym</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here is my entry in Eclipse using WebDriver(Java)</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='some_text']/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/th/h2/font/span/acronym")).click();</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here is the error I receive: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>no such element: Unable to locate element:
    {"method":"xpath","selector":"//span[@id='some_text']/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/th/h2/font/span/acronym"},</p>
