I don't think you can access the content of a sub-frame with an XPath like
that.

You probably have to use something like....

var iframe_element = document.getElementById("the-id-of-the-iframe");

var iframe_document = iframe_element.contentWindow.document;

And then once you have the "document" of that iframe then you can apply you
XPath's to that.


See ya
