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:

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?
