You might have to do
div(:class => "NavigationLink", :index => 4).click
The :index is 1-based, so the fourth link would be index = 4. This is one of
the really helpful features of Watir, namely multiple attributes so that you
can define exactly which element to click on or manipulate more
specifically.
