Watir can't find elements I see in Chrome's DOM Inspector

Here's a study case:

<html>
...
<embed name="foo">
<embed name="bar">
...
</html>

I'm trying to reference the embed element named "bar" using Watir Ruby's API. The element is shown by Chrome's DOM Inspector but I can't find it using any of finding methods of Watir:

browser.embeds() # only <embed name="foo"> is found
browser.html.include? 'bar' # => false

Why does that happen? Why Watir does not show the complete HTML? If I have elements in different frames or dynamically inserted by Javascript init functions, will them be accessible using Watir?

Thanks

Are these tags closed properly? – Consolidate 12/10, 2012 at 15:19

If the element is in the frame, you have to use something like this:

browser.frame(:id => "frameid").embed(:name => "bar")

Thanks! Now I'm looking for the best way to traverse all iFrames, as I don't know where exactly the frame containing the embed element will be. – Contumelious 13/10, 2012 at 2:9
