I am doing automated testing using Selenium WebDriver with Ruby. I need to click a button. I cannot get the button element by id or css or xpath as the button is transparent. I would like to use Tab and Enter key to press the button.

I can use Tab key to get the button as below: 

@element.send_keys :tab
@element --> any javascript element visible in the browser

But how do I use the Enter key on the button?

Basically I need to achieve press Tab key and then press Enter key to click the button.

I am using Selenium WebDriver @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
