I cannot find the id "double\_your\_btc\_link2" anywhere on the site you  
linked.

Do you need to log in? If yes: Does Watir log in?

Try dumping the raw HTML of the page you want to test drive.

Oops, sorry guys.

@Eric, yes you do need to be logged in which Watir manages without a  
problem because the login button is an actual button.
