HI Robert, Have you tried locating the element within irb?
Using the elements below... input type="image" name="ctl00$ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder$ContentPlaceHolder $LoginImageButton" id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_ContentPlaceHolder_LoginImageButton" src="App_Shared/Pix/en_US/Button-Login.gif" in irb, navigate to the login page and then use the "flash" command to see what responds (if anything). ex: ie.img(:name, /LoginImageButton/).flash Hopefully that helps a little!
