I removed the frame and created a simple html with a selectlist and saved
it as sel.html
*Html:*
*<html><table><tr><td>*
*<SELECT size=1 name=filter> <OPTION selected value=""><OPTION
value=Y>Active<OPTION value=N>In-Active</OPTION></SELECT>*
*</td></tr></table></html>*
*
*
*Watir Code*
*require 'watir'*
*require 'watir-classic'*
*browser=Watir::Browser.start "file:///sel.html" #Specify complete path*
*browser.select_list.select("Active")*
*Response*:
*C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-classic-3.2.0/lib/watir-classic/element.rb:66:in
`assert_exists': Unable to locate element, using {:tag_name=>["select"]}
(Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)*
* from
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-classic-3.2.0/lib/watir-classic/element.rb:418:in
`perform_action'*
* from
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-classic-3.2.0/lib/watir-classic/input_elements.rb:37:in
`select'*
* from sel.rb:4:in `<main>'*
Note that the same html and the code worked fine on Ruby 1.8.7 and
watir-2.0.4
