Pradeepta, did you go through the suggestions on this page like Bret  
suggested?  
[http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Frames](http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Frames)

Did you add the site [www.ft.com](http://www.ft.com) to IE’s trusted sites?

At a glance your code looks OK, but I haven’t tried to run it, so it  
may be a setup issue, not a code issue.
