Hmm, that's an interesting problem.  When I first evaluated Watir to see if
it would work with our .Net web app, it was important to figure out how to
work with our tree control.  Each tree control/library out there is
different and none of the referenced examples that I could find worked for
me.

Using IRB, I tried clicking through the images, clicking on text, there were
no table cells to work with for me, tried clicking the DIV tags, and in the
end I found that I could click on the 'SPAN' tags.  It was tricky because
none of the span tags had identifiable ID or NAME labels (i.e. they were all
blank).  But where there's a will there's a way, and knowing that clicking
on the SPAN tags worked, I found a way to work around the fact that none of
them were labelled.

Scanning through your code below, I see that the tree control appears in a
single table row/cell.  It does have images associated with each of the menu
options though. That is, it looks like these images are associated with the
menu options:

- ico_attachment_pencil_24.gif  -- Code Groups
- ico_admin_add_16.gif  -- Key Person Detail
- ico_calendar_16.gif  -- Holiday Calendar
- etc.

Does clicking any of these images in that frame do what you need?

I have absolutely no idea how to click/locate/use any of the TreeView (
