Watir can't find button inside iframe

[James]

I'm just getting into Watir and finding I can do all sorts of great
things with it. However, I can't seem to get it to find a button
within an iframe. I can find radio buttons in iframes, but not
regular buttons.

This happens even on the "official" examples - for instance the
"Automating Gmail with Watir" example, if I run it, I get this error
when it tries to click the "Send" button:

1) Error:
test_gmaildemo(GmailDemo):

have u tried pointing to the frame and then walking down the dom?

eg: ie.frame(:name, 'xxx').button(:id, 'asdsa').click

Thanks bwaybandit.

I never resolved the gmail example, but for my own use, I found that
the application was just getting ahead of itself and the button wasn't
always fast loading. The "wait_until" command did the trick for me.
