Can anyone help me initiate button click action searching for "New Cars" form on the top left. Seems like they are using JavaScript as well. I appreciate any help.

Answer 1

There's probably a way to do it with JavaScript, but taking just a minute I was able to click the button two different ways:

ie.span(:text=>"Search New").click

ie.link(:href=>"javascript:checkZipFirst(document.newForm, quickSubmitNew, document.newForm.zc.value);").click
