There is not enough information here to reproduce. Can you provide a page?

As per my observation this is working fine in FireWatir. However it does not work in Watir.

Added this comment because in the bug Component/s: 'FireWatir' is mentioned. In my knowledge this is a problem with Watir.

Here is the script that I used. Using Watir/Firewatir 1.6.1

require 'watir'
Watir::Browser.default = 'ie'
br = Watir::Browser.new()
url = 'http://groups.shiksha.com/index.php/network/Network/index/college/2/Medical'
br.goto url
puts br.div(:xpath,'/html/body/div[18]/div[3]/div[2]/div[7]/div/div/div[1]').exists?

I tried this with both IE and Firefox and it showed "false" both times.
