IFrame questions

[Scott Lillibridge]

I have code to navigate an IFrame. Everything works great until I try to get the frame from the WebResponse.
This code:

        String[] frames = response.getFrameNames();
        for(int i=0; i<frames.length; i++){
            System.out.println(i +") "+frames[i]);
        }

produces the expected output of
0) dyn

but the following code:

        WebResponse dynFrame = response.getSubframeContents("dyn");

produces the following exception
com.meterware.httpunit.NoSuchFrameException: No frame named dyn is currently active

    at com.meterware.httpunit.WebWindow.getFrameContents(WebWindow.java:203)

    at com.meterware.httpunit.WebResponse.getSubframeContents(WebResponse.java:274)
...snip...

I just wonder if I am doing this correctly. Is this the appropriate way to get an iframe, or is there a better way?

I have the same problem with dynamic created framesets via JavaScript document.write().

The following code gives the same exception:
...snip...
    WebResponse top = wc.getFrameContents("_top");
   
    log.debug("Frames = " + Arrays.asList(top.getFrameNames()));
    // getFrameNames gives me [content, help, menu]
    top.getSubframeContents("content");
    // No I got the exception, that content is not active
...snip...

I have a link in an iframe nested in another iframe in a frame
contained by the main document. The hierarchy is
content:documentBrowser:documentList. This link is used to load the
page pointed to by the link target.

yatsy.logic.html.HTTPClient.loadPage() only does a
WebConversation.getResponse( WebRequest request ).

As can be seen above, the frame names in the current document contain
the requested target.

So why do i get a NoSuchFrameException?
