When I click on 'Self Service Tool' menu or hover over it, the following submenus displays

Here is my code to click on the 'Self Service Tool' submenu.
var Wait = require("Wait");
var browser = Sys.Browser();
var page = browser.Page("*");
Wait.findObject("//li/a/span[contains(text(),'Self Service Tool')]").Click();
Delay(1000);
Wait.findObject("//li/a/span[contains(text(),'Prior Authorization Work Queue')]").Click();
Delay(3000);
----------------------------------
function findObject(selector)
{
var browser = Sys.Browser();
var page = browser.Page("*");
var obj = page.WaitElement(selector,1000);
while (obj.Exists == false){
obj = page.WaitElement(selector,1000);
}
return obj;
}
The click on the 'Self Service Tool' object occasionally not working. The HTML attributes of the object are shown below.

In the logs, I can see Click is performed but the sub-menu list is not populating

cadeo, just realized there is an extra space at the beginning and end of the text. thats why its not able to find the object. use the normalize-space method in the xpath.
ps: Do not copy and paste the below syntax as sometimes the quotes might be replaced with special chars and will not work in code. Please type manually in the code.
//li/a[normalize-space(.) ='Self Service Tool']
