Dear Friends,

I am getting an error in Watir 1.5.3 (Using Ruby 1.8.6).

Error:

“there are 1 frames  
frame index: 1 Access Denied, see  
[http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#access-denied](http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#access-denied)  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.3/./watir/element.rb:49:in  
`assert_exists': Unable to locate object, using name and customerFirstName (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.3/./watir/input_elements.rb:227:in `to\_s’

Have you read all the FAQ info?

[http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-WhydoIgetanaccessdeniederrorwhentryingtoaccessaframe%3F](http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-WhydoIgetanaccessdeniederrorwhentryingtoaccessaframe%3F)

Read through it and then repost stating that there is no answer found in  
the  
docs. But, it usually means you are trying to access a frame that’s  
source  
is from another domain. I saw this alot for ads that were in iframes.
