I spoke too soon, earlier. It's not only B that it does not click. It also fails to click on E, G, I, J, and K, so far. But the script flashes all these links without a problem.
I can't see any significant differences in the formatting of the HTML for the links that work versus the links that don't. Here's the HTML, with the encoded HREF strings shortened for ease of readibility: Letter A (click works fine): <a href="/fido/app?page=XSites&service=external&sp=<long string of encoded text...>" id="ExternalLink_0">A</a> Letter B (click fails, flash works): <a href="/fido/app?page=XSites&service=external&sp=<long string of encoded text...>" id="ExternalLink_1">B</a> -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
