Watir code problem & http

Ruby
1

I’m trying to use Watir and of course being a none
programmer I need help understanding the http source
code. Can someone point me to a good http book.

I get the following error when opening a web page with
Watir.
W, [05-Aug-2007 19:58:20#5180] WARN – : frame error

Jeff,
This happens in Watir when your page has an iframe with a src attribute
in
another domain. (ie an ad) Please take a look at watir’s documentation
for
how to suppress these warnings.

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ
look at the section titled “Access denied when trying to access a frame”

hope this helps,
/Shawn

you should post this to the watir list (
http://groups.google.ca/group/watir-general?lnk=srg
)
but, the error you see is due to there being some iframes on the page,
and Internet explorer prevents all script from from accessing items in
a different domain.
There arent any books on watir, an html book ( or http://w3schools.com/
) might be a help
