[Wtr-general] Access Denied with Frames

[Bret Pettichord]

Paul,

Thanks for sharing your story. It's a good example for why it is really hard
to include solutions in error messages.

I did not realize that these warnings were bothering you. It is easy to
suppress them.

Watir uses a Logger object to do the logging. By default, it set to warn,
and this is a warn message. You could provide your own, customized logger to
Watir or change the settings on the default one in play.

Something like
  ie.logger.level = Logger::ERROR
might work.

For details, see
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/logger/rdoc/index.html

Let us know what works for you and we'll add it to the FAQ.

Bret
