Subject: frame management?
Great tool! It would be better if there is a provision for handling frames. Here is a text from a java project HttpUnit stating exactly what I want to say, --------<snip>-------------- Without frames, web interaction tends to be straightforward and sequential. There is one current active page at a time, and each new page replaces the old one that referenced it. Frames change that, allowing multiple active pages simultaneously, and allowing for the possibility that a link from one active page could result in the replacement of a different page. ---------</snip>------------ So functions like getFrame() would help me a lot. Misc info (my setup) (perl version) v5.8.0 (OS info) SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine Thanks in advance, Amit.

There is support for frames. (At least there is now, a year after your submitted your bug report! See the docs for find_link(), you can use it to find the links in the <frame> "src" attribute, and follow links in frames that way. Thanks for the report. Mark
