Paul Rogers on the firewatir list:

try this

class Frame
    def url
        locate
        jssh_socket.send("#{DOCUMENT_VAR}.URL;\n", 0)
        window_url = read_socket()
        return window_url
    end
    def text
        assert_exists
        get_frame_text
    end
end

class Element
     def get_frame_text
           jssh_socket.send("var htmlelem =
#{DOCUMENT_VAR}.getElementsByTagName('html')[0]; htmlelem.textContent;
\n", 0)
           result = read_socket()
           return result
        end
end
