"rame2" should be "frame2", or is that just a typo in your email?

Depending on the environment where this is run, you should be able to do 
what you tried above and once you find the iframe element you should be 
able to reach the document inside the iframe through the iframe 
element's .contentDocument property. This access might be blocked if 
you're dealing with cross domain access to these documents...
