Yes. An error message was removed from waitdocument in Watir 1.4.1. If you still see an error message, then it is something else from what we discussed. >2.

And then open an IE browser that directly hosts that URL. This workaround may or may not be acceptable depending on your application. The only other workaround is to have your developers set up the pages hosted by separate subdomains to reference a common domain. This approach wouldn't apply to the specific example in your script (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=web-page.htm&url=http://www.aquarium.ucsd.edu), but it is applicable to many of the common situations that run into the access-denied problem.
