I think the answer is somewhere in your suggestion.
The element(s) that I am looking for is quite deep in several nested
FRAMESET/FRAME/FRAMESET/FRAME/...
Is there a way in Watir/Ruby to say "in any frame, no matter how deep"?
If not, how do I traverse them? Can I do something like:
ie = Watir::IE.new
frame1 = ie.frame(:id, "contentFrame")
frame2 = frame1.frame(:id, "frameTop")
...etc.
Thank You all for the help so far.
