## 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  
in waitdocument  
OLE error code:80070005 in   
Access is denied.

```
HRESULT error code:0x80020009
  Exception occurred.

```

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](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](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/](http://w3schools.com/)  
) might be a help
