I've never used Watir, but a quick glance at the API has this for the
"button" method --

"Used to access a button element. Usually an <input type = "button"> HTML tag."

Which the form snippet above clearly is not. So I'm not sure why you
expect this to work. :-)

Either you have to find the appropriate method, or select that input
element some other way.

HTH,
