Unable to click button - Watir

The button on a page has the following code:

<a onclick="return ValidateAll();" id="btnSignin" tabindex="5" href='javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("btnSignin", "", true, "Login", "", false, true))'>Sign In

my code: ie.button(:id,"btnSignin").click does not throw any error yet does not click the button

How to make the button click?

My guess would be that you need to fire JavaScript event. To find out which event should be fired read How to find out which JavaScript events fired?

Without a lot of experimenting, this could work:

browswer.link(:id => "btnSignin").fire_event "onclick"

Your code has a typo in it.

ie.button(:id,"btnSigin").click

Should be:

ie.button(:id,"btnSignin").click

Your button is a hyperlink, so try this: ie.link(:id, "btnSignin").click
