[Wtr-general] Access Denied with Frames

[Paul Carvalho]

Just for the record, none of the advice in this FAQ entry have helped me get
rid of this error. =(

I'm not trying to navigate to a frame on another site, but the two outside
(empty) frames are hosted on a separate resource web site.  When I check the
frames, I see the following output:
----
irb(main):128:0> ie.show_frames
there are 4 frames
frame  index: 1 --Access Denied--
frame  index: 2 name: FooBar
frame  index: 3 name: MainWindow
frame  index: 4 --Access Denied--
=> 0..3
----

I get these "Access is Denied" warnings randomly when I click buttons and
follow links in the 'MainWindow' frame.  This frame is hosted on the same
site, so I don't know why the warning messages keep appearing.

I've tried everything in the FAQ but to no avail:

 1. Navigate directly to the subframe..
--> Not relevant.  I'm not navigating to a different subframe.

 2. Add host to the Trusted Sites list.
--> Did it.  No effect.  Warnings still appear.

 3. Place entry in Hosts file.
--> Same as (2) - no effect.

 4. Set IE to "Low" Security Level zone setting
--> Can't do it.  Corporate Security Policy enforces a minimum "Medium"
value, so I can never set it to "Low".

This is why I need to spend time figuring out how to write the UnitTest
output to a file -- so I can eliminate all these annoying Warnings.  I even
tried launching ruby with a quiet verbose setting but it had no effect.  I
have been totally unable to suppress these warnings.

In the end I've come to live with them, but I can't help but think that
there must be something that can be done in the code to suppress these
Warnings.  Unfortunately, I'm too focussed on testing and/or solving the
scripting problems to figure out how to eliminate these errors.  They're
annoying but so are mosquitos in the summer time.  Oh well.

Just thought you should know that the FAQ entry doesn't help me in my
situation.

Paul.
