I have a dynamic web application built with WebObjects. There is a link that my test code is trying to find. I do a getPageSource() right before I find it and that is below.
I find the tag successfully. Then I click on it. Nothing happens. The tag I am looking for on the next page does not get found.
So, what about a tag can make it not respond to the click? There is no js attached to it. It is inside a span and surrounds an image, but that is all.
When the test code finishes executing, I can click on the link manually and I see the next page. So what up? Any ideas?

It seems Selenium webDriver couldn't find element, try to search by xpath. Also it would be nice if you provide html source (it can be copied from firebug). Upd.: thanks to response. You have class name "breadcrump_home_link" in the code, but different class name in the test: "access_my_schedule_link".
