Can you use Object Spy in both environments and see what shows up for the frame?

    Using object spy the iframed non secure page I was able to select objects insde the frame. This is what it looked like in object browser 

     

    When I used object spy in the iframed secure page, I can only select the frame and not the objects

     

    In the object browser:

     

    I wonder if there is a chrome flag to allow test complete to drilldown secured pages.

        aw, no not really.  I believe that there are some browsers that don't allow access to cross-access framesets.  It is possible that chrome considers https to cause a cross-access frameset.  If the frame content itself an http frame ? Can you see any content/html text in the object browser for the panel ?  In other words does chrome allow TC to read the contents of the frame or doesn't it allow it in in the first place ?  Do you get different results in other browsers ?
