1) send_keys isn't going to work with two things trying to send_keys
simultaneously.
2) send_keys is almost never a good solution, in my experience, doing
through the dom via watir's api is better.
3) your xpath refers to an image with class
of CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell but the thing that has that
class is a table.
4) you don't really need xpath for this, watir's api is simpler:
b.table(:class, 'CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell') will get the
table and you can get the image inside that.
