Thanks Jeff and Zeljko for both the more OO method and the
quick method. 
To explain further what I need to do is to get the id. From
that id then I want to click a gif image in an IMG tag
example as shown below: 
<IMG onclick=rusure(80) alt="Delete Asset"
src="/brand/client/images/del.gif" border=0> 

Let's say the id is 80 and I pass it in a variable $myid

How do I proceed to click that image? because onclick is
not 
part of the IMG attribute it's a javascript that the
developer is passing the id to.

$ie.frame("main").image(:??, ??).click

thanks for the help
