We are evaluating the fitness of Watir to automate web based BPM applications built on PRPC. We already know that QTP works fine for it, but I have taken up the task of trying out Watir on PRPC. Watir works fine when we tried it on our internal applications and I am very much enthusiastic about it, but I have run into some serious problems while trying it out for PRPC based apps. I cant go furthur than logging in to the application.
I get the following error from Watir when it comes to the first screen after I log into the application.

I found from one of the mails in the list archive that this might be because the frame is served from a different server & it might be a cross-site scripting limitation.
But in our scenario it is not so. The situation is that in one of the frames there is no 'src' tag, rather there is an onload function handler which gets the frame source. The problematic portion is given below:
<frameset id="DESKTOPMAINID" name="DESKTOPMAIN" cols="220,*" frameborder="1" framespacing="2"
We cannot do away with this approach for frames as this is a vendor provided tool upon which our application has been built and the tool itself generates the frames so.
Can treat this a defect / deficiency in Watir or do I need to build in a workaround?
I dont want to be using QTP, please help me!

I spent a minute looking at my own code by accident.
I was thinking "What the hell is this guy doing?"
