Not all elements that appear to be links actually are.
It is common practice to attach onClick JavaScript events to other DOM elements to simulate the behavior of links.
To activate such elements, use "click" with _IEAction().
_IELinkClickByText, _IELoadWait
; Open browser with basic example, click on the 3rd link
; on the page (note: the first link is index 0)
#include <IE.au3>
