Button Does not Respond when Called from Script in IE but does in Chrome.

I have some automated scripts which go through an order process and at the final stage of the order, clicks a process button.

 

Until yesterday it worked fine in Chrome and IE, but now the process button will not worked when called by the Automation script.

 

If I go through the process manually it works fine, but if I am brought to that step through my script, the button will not respond.

 

The farthest I have been able to get so far, is that the IE object contains the onClick property which the object in Chrome does not.

 

I am stumped as to why this is suddenly occurring.

    Does an IE update occured ?

    Or a setting changed (compatibility mode, ..) ?

    Or the tested application changed ?

      An IE update has not occurred since it was last working, compatibility mode is off, and the application I am testing has not changed since it was last working.

        How many instances of iexplore are open in Windows currently? Is it possible that there is something that spawned another iexplore process that is confusing matters?
