How to handle elements in Frames and Tables

[Gmafz7]

I'm having some issues accesing some links who are inside a Frame and
Tables.
I've been trying to pull it by myself but with no success.
This is the code I have so far

I included this beforehand:
require 'nokogiri'

//
#Here I Log In, etc
enter_text("some", "pass")
enter_text("password", "hnsc")
click_button_with_image("/images/ci/formbtns/login_off.gif")
//

This is where I try to click the link, I tried using something called
xFirePath in Firefox, using this example:
http://www.layeredthoughts.com/automation/how-to-write-your-first-ruby-web-bot-in-watir-scraping-weather-com

Then I found this document, where in the beginning of Page 2, it
indicates that there are some issues between Watir and Frames.
(Although I'm using right now the RWebSpec code generated by Testwise
Recorder)

//
# can't yet handle followFrame
page_html = Nokogiri::HTML.parse(browser.html)

# Using xFirePath in Firefox I obtain the following xPath, where I
supposedly extract the text
#First the HTML

<a target="_top" href=" /webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?
tab_id=_2_1&amp;url=%2fwebapps%2fblackboard%2fexecute%2flauncher%3ftype
%3dCourse%26id%3d_490590_1%26url%3d">LIU1.TSHE.PRBL.SP.2010FD34B.1</a>

If I just use click_link("LIU1.TSHE.PRBL.SP.2010FD34B.1")

#Now I use xpath to extract the text written above, hoping to make
click link work
texto = page_html.xpath("/html/body/table/tbody/tr/td[3]/table/
tbody/tr[2]/td[1]/table/tbody/tr/td/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/
tr/td/table[1]/tbody/tr[2]/th/font/a").inner_text


Now I try to ways to click the link

Watir:
browser.link(:url, html/body/table[1]/tbody/tr/td[1]/table/tbody/
tr[1]/td[2]/a/img).click

RWebSpec:
click_link(texto)


Sorry if this post is a mess, I was in a hurry. I'll try to explain
myself better promptly

P.S. I have another idea, since this link I'm trying to access, is
only one from many within that frame.
Is there a way to, like, use the DOM to create a list that I can use
readily.
I don't know much maybe I'm speaking gibberish, but I'm trying to
learn all of this, the best I can.

The access frames in Watir, use the syntax below

frame(:id, "Frame1).link(:text, "some link").click

You can have a look at examples in TestWise's reference projects
(under samples\reference).

P.S. TestWise Recorder is not frame aware.

What is the syntax to access frames in Selenium-WebDriver using RWebSpec?

I need to test using Firefox but the application (PeopleSoft) uses frames.

I tried using the goto_url("path/page") but I just get the

[Zhimin]

In RWebSpec, use browser.driver to access the selenium driver. Here is an example: 

  before(:all) do    

    open_browser(:base_url => $TESTWISE_PROJECT_BASE_URL.gsub("index.html", "frames.html"), :browser => :firefox)

  end

  it "New Test Case" do

    debug browser.class

    browser.driver.switch_to.frame("topNav") # name

    browser.driver.find_element(:link_text, "Menu 2 in top frame").click

  end
