Hi, i’m trying to login to a web application using watir. I’ve got a  
frameset with the login form in one frame.

I was trying this:

–code–

1 require ‘watir’  
2 include Watir  
3.  
4 ie = Watir::IE.new  
5  
6 ie.goto(“http://\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*:8007/online/”)  
7  
8 ie.frame(“myframename”).text\_field(:name,  
“myinputname”).set(“username”)

–code–  
at this point i get this output (that, as I understood could be ignored,  
as  
i got it just running until line 6 ) and this error:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb:1405:in  
`method_missing' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb:1405:in`wait’  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb:1404:in `upto' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb:1404:in`wait’  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb:1254:in `goto’

Have you got any idea? Thank you very much
