Contains a href to a javascript function, has an image as a clickable  
element.  
I’m trying to trigger the click by an image reference:  
ie.button(:src, /start-my-page/).click

but I exit and get a “1” return code.  
Questions:

1. What is the correct means to click this image?
2. Is there a way to get a more meaningful error than simply a return  
code of 1?
