How do I simulate clicking on a link when the link is an image

Question

I am using capybara with cucumber on a rails 2.3.9 project.

This is my markup

<a href='/pemail/new/21' title='send email'>
  <img alt='email' src='/images/email.png?1286474'>
</a>

How do I simulate clicking on the above link.

Answer 1

capybara only looks at the "alt" tag for an image. Use that and you are good to go.
