Selenium webdriver c# - unable to click() element (element not null)

Question

I seem to be having issues clicking a element inside a box which is filled by ajax.

So the web page I am on has a link on it which when clicked this calls a javascript function which then inserts a new div into the page which is full of new content.

Now the weird thing is I can find the element inside this box no problem using xpath, and I can even read its value but! I can't use Click(); on the link inside the box the event just wont work for some reason.

Has anyone faced a similar issue and know a work around?

I am using Selenium webdriver 2.35 with Firefox 23

 More Info

OK so the HTML for the link I click which calls the JS to make the div appear.

<center>
    <a id="link_fleet_move_here" href="">Move fleet here</a>
</center>
<br>
<script>
    $("#link_fleet_move_here").click( function(event) { event.preventDefault(); load_fleet_move_to_destination("fleet.aspx?method=ajax&view=move_to_destination&version=1&player=111&destination=LZLOCATION"); $("#link_fleet_move_here").hide();} )
</script>
<center>
<div id="fleetLoaderTemplate" style="display:none">
<div id="fleetLoaderErrorTemplate" style="display:none">
</center>
<div id="move_to_destination_container"></div>

And when the event finishes loading the new HTML

<div id="move_to_destination_container">
    <ajax>
        <table width="600" align="center">
        BIG TABLE FULL OF CONTENT
        <td sorttable_customkey="LZLOCATION">
            <a href="map.aspx?loc=LZLOCATION">(LZLOCATION)</a>
        </td>
        <td sorttable_customkey=""></td>
        <td sorttable_customkey=""></td>
        <td>
            <a href="fleet.aspx?fleet=&view=move&destination=AnotherLocation">Move</a>
        </td>
        <table>
    <br>
    </ajax>
</div>

The Selector

location = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[contains(@href, '" + LZLocation + "')]/following::td[3]"));
location.Click();

I think it may be something to do with that div actually, I think it starts as Display:None and gets changed, this will be effecting it?

I thought it was dynamically adding it but maybe not!

Try selecting your element via the following:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#move_to_destination_container a[href^='fleet']")).click();

If it throws an error, try using:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("#move_to_destination_container a[href^='fleet']"))).click();
