whether the frame support the XPath or not?

[bugs apple]

hi, all

 

For my script like this,

 

ie.frame(:name,"LeftFrame").text_field(:xpath,"//input[@name='wiston']/").set("hello")

 

it throws error like below,

 

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.6/./watir/input_elements.rb:6:in `locate': undefined method `element_by_xpath' for #<Watir::Frame:0x3a1bb18> (NoMethodError)

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.6/./watir/element.rb:53:in `assert_exists'

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.6/./watir/element.rb:288:in `enabled?'

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.6/./watir/element.rb:60:in `assert_enabled'

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.6/./watir/input_elements.rb:328:in `set'

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.6/watir/RubyApplication2/lib/main.rb:91

 

whether the frame support the XPath or not? if Yes, how do such a step?

Hi,
