Is it possible that you are trying to access the element before it has had time to render? We use jQuery and its elements sometime take a while to render fully.
Try putting a line of *ie.image(:alt, 'Open SDP file').wait_until_present* before you attempt to click on it. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
