Your easiest solution is to get your developer to add an id tag to the image.
It won't hurt anything and it makes testing infinitely easier.
You have
<img onClick='ruser( 80 )' alt='Delete Asset'
src='/brand/client/images/del.gif' border='0'>
With the addition, you would have
<img id='del_80' onClick='ruser( 80 )' alt='Delete Asset'
src='/brand/client/images/del.gif' border='0'>
Which would make finding the right image to click:
id = getLinkID( :name, "New Vehicle" )
ie.button( :id, /del_#{ id }/ ).click
Nice and clean, yeah? Always try to get development to put IDs on
things it will save your sanity.
