That is indeed the same jstree I am working with! That was a very detailed response that you gave, I like how you explained everything so clearly.
But yes, clicking the link next to the icon won't help me, and the only way I can think of to interact with the icon is through the INS tags. I'm able to locate the right icon by extending Watir to accept INS tags (see original post) I'm not able to get the .click method to work on the ins tags... Is there something I missed when adding INS to watir?
