[Wtr-general] Navigating in IE frames

[Paul Carvalho]

Yes, you do need to specify the frame.  Try something like:

                        ie.frame('FrameName').text_field(:name,
"inpListFilter" ).set("adm" )

You should be able to incorporate the FrameName into your 'ECMTestFixture'
object.

To see the frames that Ruby/Watir sees, try the following at an IRB prompt:

> ie.show_frames
