Access Frame with no Name

I am having problems on how to click a text link in a frame with no name.

IE Builder gave me the following information:

The frame with index number 9 is the one that contains the link that I want to click.

I hope Dale could help me.

I found this code below from another thread to diagnose my problem:

$oFrames = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "frame")
    ConsoleWrite("Frame Count: " & @extended & @CR)
    $i = 0
    $sFrameInfo = ""
    For $oFrame In $oFrames
        $sFrameInfo &= "===============" & @CR
        $sFrameInfo &= "Frame: " & $i & @CR
        $sFrameInfo &= "Name: " & $oFrame.name & @CR
        $sFrameInfo &= "SRC: " & $oFrame.src & @CR
        $sFrameInfo &= ">>>>><HTML START><<<<<" & @CR & $oFrame.innerHTML & @CR
        $sFrameInfo &= ">>>>><HTML END><<<<<" & @CR
        $i += 1
    Next
    $sFrameInfo &= "==============="
    ConsoleWrite($sFrameInfo & @CR)

And the result is this:

Frame Count: 3
===============
Frame: 0
Name: topFrame
SRC: navBar.php?type=project&nav= > Test Plan Metrics
>>>>><HTML START><<<<<
0
>>>>><HTML END><<<<<
===============
Frame: 1
Name: 0
SRC: metrics/metricsLeft.php
>>>>><HTML START><<<<<
0
>>>>><HTML END><<<<<
===============
Frame: 2
Name: mainFrame
SRC: metrics/metricsSelection.php
>>>>><HTML START><<<<<
0
>>>>><HTML END><<<<<
===============

The result is telling me that I still cannot access the Text Link that I want to click. This is because the SRC of each of the frame is a .PHP page.

Any suggestions on what I need to do?

$index = 1 ; 0 = topFrame, 2 = mainFrame

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $index)

Thanks Dale, I've already tried that but the problem is I cannot access the contents of frame with $index = 1. Maybe because each of the frame content is in PHP. This is the only source code that the IE Builder is giving me.

<FRAME name=topFrame marginWidth=1 marginHeight=1 src="navBar.php?type=project&amp;nav= > Test Plan Metrics" noResize scrolling=no><FRAMESET border=0 frameSpacing=0 frameBorder=NO cols=30%,*><FRAME src="metrics/metricsLeft.php" scrolling=yes><FRAME name=mainFrame src="metrics/metricsSelection.php"></FRAMESET>

What do you think is the problem? Thanks a lot.

Try this:

$index = 1 ; 0 = topFrame, 2 = mainFrame

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $index)

ConsoleWrite( _IEDocReadHTML($oFrame) & @CR)

the example your have is not a good one because it is enumerating the frames as "tags" rather than as "windows"

I've already tried that also Dale, anyway I tried once more but same result:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.xxxxxx.com/metrics/metricsFrameSet.php?nav=%20>%20Test%20Plan%20Metrics")
$index = 1; 0 = topFrame, 2 = mainFrame
$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $index)
ConsoleWrite( _IEDocReadHTML($oFrame) & @CR)

Got an error:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Include\IE.au3 (2214) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: 
Return $o_object.document.documentElement.outerHTML 
Return $o_object.document^ ERROR
