Webdriver can't click element in IE

The issue that I have is that the capybara/selenium webdriver method of click element does not seem to work in IE.

  find(:css, ".submit").click #does not seem to click the element in IE

This method works fine in other browsers like FF. When I try to just find the element by using the

  find(:css, ".submit")
  it can return this:  #<Capybara::Element tag="input">

Apparently this is because I accidentally change the zoom level in Internet Explorer. To fix this issue simply set the zoom level to be 100%.
