XPath Support in Frame
Kunal Kumar
I know that currently watir does not support xpath in frames. So for example, statement like
$ie.frame(:index, 3).span( :xpath, "//div[@id='test']/../span" ).click
would fail with error.
I would like to know if there is any development going on to support XPath in Frame or it just can't be done ?
I am not sure why this functionality does not exist in watir ( which would really help for all those folks whoever is using/are planning to use Watir ).
Could someone please explain?

Take a look:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/XPath
"...you can access frames using the attributes that Watir provides but you can't use xpath attribute for accessing frames..."

that ;)
Anyways I tried to remove most of the redundant things and the
skeleton HTML does look something like as below
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div> Some content here </div>
<iframe src="http://dummy-url">
<html>
<body>
<div id="test-1" > Test test
<div id="test-2" > </div>
<span id="test-span-1"> lkdsjlakjds </span>
<span id="Root-Node" > </span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
If this helps, great. If you need more information, please let me
know.

In fact, when I user IE developer toolbar to access the web page with the source code above, the IFRAME won't expand.
The IFrame is with src attributes, it points to the other place, which crosses the domain, so we have no access.
Thanks.

Do you think this issue can be solved ?

Question is - Can this be supported? May be Angrez can throw some
light.

I didn't get enough time to look into the issue. I'll surely get something done this week end.
