Hi all,
did anybody use watir on a page with iframes?
Apart from this tiny problem I have watir looks very
impressive.
I got a simple page with one iframe.
How can I access the iframe-text content?
Does anybody have a simple example to share?
Thanks,
-Armin

The Watir user guide, installed as part of Watir, has an example:
"Watir allows access to frame objects by identifying them by their name attribute. This is the form that Watir takes to access a frame:
ie.frame("menu")
To access individual objects within that frame, you prefix the object using the Watir code above. If we had a hyperlink in the menu frame: Click Menu Item, we could click it like this:
ie.frame("menu").link(:text, "Click Menu Item").click
See [installation dir]/watir_bonus/doc/watir_user_guide.html

James, a big thanks for your help,
but it does not seem to work.
Does watir support iframes?
The html page looks like:
...
<IFRAME name="queryResultFrame"
src="queryresult.do?method=showQueryResult" width="100%" height="400"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"
marginwidth="0">
</IFRAME>
....
ie.frame("queryResultFrame") fails.

In the end the bug was in the html-page I was testing.
It had invalid html. Thanks to tidy/validator I discovered it.
