Getting an <iframe> in Watir

ruby-talk
1

I am new to Ruby and Watir. I need to access a frame (iframe) in a
popup window and click a link in the frame. The frame tag is as
follows:

<iframe id=facframe src="/tools/faclist.jsp?ESOLsort=name"
width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>

If I ie.show_frames I get the following:

there are 1 frames
frame index: 1 name:

Here is my code:

ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url,"mypage.jsp") #
ie.frame(:id, "facframe").link(:text, "mylink").click

Apparently, you can not access a frame by its id. If there is no
"name" attribute, how do you get access to the frame?

ruby 186-25
Watir 1.5.1.1081

Any ideas would be great. TIA.

What does ie.frame("facframe") yield?
