Alas, it won't fix my current problem. I can already view source for this

I
care about. Even clicking on the frame I want and then looking at view source
doesn't change anything. This page was written by extremely sharp individuals
who
I believe were intentionally trying to obfuscate. The page has an unnamed
frame,
which I could only get a handle on by doing this:
$main_frame = $ie.frame("")
Within this frame are other frames.
If you can think of other ways to get at the source of specific frames, please
let me
know. I'll also try AutoIt as a previous poster recommended.
You can try pulling it out of the cache (C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files).
Or AutoIt can probably do it; I imagine that could potentially be harder than
looking for a matching filename in the cache.
P.S. Do you have a good reference for that kind of window scripting,
especially
IE scripting? Is there a way to banish those annoying splash screens that
s-l-o-w
Java applications keep putting up in front of my work?
AutoIt3 does all that really well, although Bret seems to have demonstrated you
can use the Windows COM API quite powerfully, too. You can check the MSDN
library for info on Shell and other automation objects, including the IE object
which is very handy for Watir stuff.
InternetExplorer object (Watier::IE.new.ie or
WIN32OLE.new("InternetExplorer.Application") doco is here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/objects/internetexplorer.asp
Remember, too, all WIN32OLE objects have the ole_methods method which exposes
all the properties and methods of the object.
The AutoIt docs are here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/
And in particular its API is here:
