Subject: FireWatir: get the text from a frame

I'm trying to get the text shown in a frame using the text porperty in
firewatir that works for a no-frame window but it doesn't work for a
frame....

A full example using watir and firewatir:

require 'firewatir'
require 'watir'
ie=Watir::IE.new()
ff=FireWatir::Firefox.new()
url="http://www.tlwilliams.net/NOCCC/0005/0005pFrame.html"
frame="menu"

ff.goto(url)
ie.goto(url)

puts "************************ FIREFOX *************************"
myframe=ff.frame(frame)
puts myframe.text()

puts "************************ INTERNET EXPLORER
*************************"
myframe=ie.frame(frame)
puts myframe.text()

ff.close()
ie.close()


The result is:

Starting Firefox using the executable : C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\firefox.exe
Waiting for 2 seconds for Firefox to get started.

As you can see we don't have any text content from firewatir.

Anybody knows how to get the text.. I mean not the html

Thanks.
