How to identify element using anchor tag text Empty How to identify element using anchor tag text

Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:07 am
How to select the below anchor tag without using href:

Code:
<a rel="nofollow" href="/gp/flex/sign-out.html/ref=pd_irl_gw_r?ie=UTF8&path=%2Fgp%2Fyourstore&signIn=1&useRedirectOnSuccess=1&action=sign-out">Start here</a>

I am able to select like this //a[@href="/gp/flex/sign-out.html/ref=pd_irl_gw_r?ie=UTF8&path=%2Fgp%2Fyourstore&signIn=1&useRedirectOnSuccess=1&action=sign-out']

I want to know if there is a way i can locate the anchor element by using the visible text like:

I tried this, but it is not working..
//a[@link="Start here"]

Any suggestions.
