click inside cell

[alex]

Hi,
How to find and click on the object if it inside the cell?
There is the piece of code:
<td align="right" class="f12n">Password`</td>
<td nowrap class="f16b">
<input type="password" name="password" maxlength="32" size="20"
value=" " onkeypress="returnKeyHandler(event);" onfocus="
this.select();" class="f14n">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<font color="#0000FF" onClick="goLogin();"
onMouseOut="hoverLink(this,0);" onMouseOver="hoverLink(this,1,'Click
to login');">Sign In</font>

When I use:
ie.cell(:text, "Sign In").flash
watir understand this full cell (included: password label, password
text field and Sign In).
I have to click on Sign In, how to find this object?

This works for me with a simple version of your cell, there may be an easier way, I don't know, it's the first thing I came up with:

browser.cell(:text, 'Sign In').document.childnodes.item(1).fireevent('onclick')

Then you tell your developers that font tags are deprecated and never to do anything so heinous again. :)

This is a good argument for providing a generic ie.element() method that
would work with any type of element.

After: ie.cell(:text, 'Sign
In').document.childnodes.item(1).fireevent('onclick')
I recieved next message:
Search_User.rb:33:in `method_missing': unknown property or method
`fireevent' (WIN32OLERuntimeError)
HRESULT error code:0x80020006
Unknown name. from Search_User.rb:33

You may have to change the child node, it may not be 1 in the array you get back, dunno. And I'd hope you are working with Watir 1.5.x.
