Trouble using Watir to click a tab on a page

I am trying to click the second tab Tab1_imgImbillsTab. 

<div id="menuTabsForPageContainer" >
<div id="menuTabsForPage">
    <img id="Tab1_imgHomePageTab" accesskey="H" disabled="disabled" class="imgHomePageTab" src="images/home_deselected_tab.png" alt="Home" style="border-width:0px;" />
    <img id="Tab1_imgImbillsTab" accesskey="B" class="imgImbillsTab" src="images/bills_deselected_tab.png" alt="Bills" style="border-width:0px;" />    
    <img id="Tab1_imgArchiveTab" accesskey="C" class="imgArchiveTab" src="images/chartrack_deselected_tab.png" alt="Chart Rack" style="border-width:0px;" />
    <img id="Tab1_imgPracMgmtTab" accesskey="I" class="imgPracMgmtTab" src="images/managementreporting_deselected_tab.png" alt="Business Intelligence" style="border-width:0px;" />
    <img id="Tab1_imgSysToolTab" accesskey="Y" class="imgSysToolTab" src="images/systemtools_deselected_tab.png" alt="System Tools" style="border-width:0px;" />       
    <img id="Tab1_imgBulletinTab" accesskey="S" class="imgBulletinTab" src="images/settings_deselected_tab.png" alt="Settings" style="border-width:0px;" />     
</div>
</div>

I tried several things:

browser.button(:id => 'Tab1_imgImbillsTab').click
browser.div(:id, "menuTabsForPage").div(:id, "menuTabsForPage").button(:id, "Tab1_imgImbillsTab").click

I also tried to reference it as a clickable image by referencing the "src" of the image. These tabs, I believe have JavaSceript behind them. I can not figure out what I'm doing wrong.

The code:

browser.button(:id => 'Tab1_imgImbillsTab').click

Says to find a button element or input element (of type button, reset, submit or image) that has the id "Tab1_imgImbillsTab".

However, based on the HTML, the tab is an img tag. As a result, it will never be found by the button method. Tell Watir to look for the img tag instead: 

browser.img(:id => 'Tab1_imgImbillsTab').click
