This is in response to Access denied problem is driving me nuts dated Jan 19, 2006:
I'm new to watir and ruby and am currently checking it's feasibility against some of our in-house applications, one of the apps uses frames and most of the workarounds that I found on the forums didn't seem to help or didn't meet my needs. I'm not sure what's going on under the hood exactly and why the 'cross-site scripting' would apply to my particular application since it seems that all the content is coming from the same location -- but my symptoms were the same.
The latest workaround I found posted -- basically aliasing the domain in the hosts file worked like a charm. I also stumbled onto another while working with this -- if I put the domain of the webpage that's causing problems into my 'Trusted Sites' in IE settings, it also gets around the 'Access denied' problems with frames. I suspect this may be cleaner because anytime that domain is used it should be covered, whereas with the alias I suspect that if a fully qualified URL is used at some point (say by accessing an application link) that you could run into issues again.
E.g. If my URL is "http://testserver.twtelecom.com:5005/<application>" and I put "testserver.twtelcom.com" into my trusted sites, I can access and work with the frames with no problems (at least, so far).
Anyway, not sure if this works in all the 'cross-site scripting' situations, but just FYI if someone does get that wiki going. :-)
Thanks for all the help -- great tool and great forum.
