I bypass the WIN32OLERuntimeError so I'm about to access the frame's
properties and the frame's name etc. However when I try to get the document
it just returns me the main browser document, not the frame document.
I've tried reading through those files Jarmo but like I said I'm new to ruby
and I get a little confused. I'm trying to find out how given a
browserObject.Document.frame I can get the
browserObject.Document.frame.document so I can access those controls.
I'll paste some of my personal source code to see if you guys can maybe give
me a simple breakdown of what I'm missing.
["FRAME", "IFRAME"].each do |frame_tag|
frames = @ie.Document.getElementsByTagName(frame_tag)
frames.each do |frame|
frame_document = get_frame_document(frame)
control = find_control_for_document(filter_expression, frame_document)
if(control != nil)
return control
end
end
end
this is very similar to your loop that I found to get every frame in a DOM
document.
def get_frame_document(frame)
document = nil
begin
document = frame.Document
rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError => e
end
return document
end
this function returns me the frame's document.
However when I try to access the DOM of that document I just get the
original document's DOM not the Frame's...so I can never see the controls
inside of the frame. I'm not sure how you guys wire up the frame object and
the container to get around this
