Unfortunately you can't pass parameters to the fireEvent ... all you are doing is telling IE that the event needs to be fired ... IE looks at the event you requested to see if that element has a handler for that event.
You can do the multiple criteria, without WET (yes it's more limited, but it does work).
$ie.buttons( :alt, "Delete Asset" )[1].click
However this still doesn't help with the OP as much as he would like. Truly, I would suggest getting the developers to add an id attribute to these and name it something like delete_#{ item_id } so if the id is 84 then the tag would ge <img id="delete_84" src=""
It would make your life MUCH easier, then you simply code for
$ie.button( :id, "delete_#{ desired_item_id }" ).click
done.
With out that, using index is your only real choice. Currently. When the new version of WATiR hits that has XPath support, you'll be able to find it with:
$ie.button( :xpath, "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'rusure(#{ desired_item_id })\'" ).click # ( or something like that... )
My XPath is rusty ... use www.zvon.org ... great online XPath tutorial.
Anyways, the new xpath support is going to open up our world ... just gotta wait a bit longer...

Hi Roy.
I think for this case you require multiple parameter to recognzie one
object. This option is supported in WET.
In WET the syntax would by like this.
Browser("title:=.....").Button("alt:=Delete Asset", "id:=....",
"index:=1").click
I think this should solve your issue.
