'Then it verifies that the frame still behaves correctly when the DOM element is removed.
Browser("Base Navigation Page").Page("Manage Resumes").PSFrame("Application Log").RunScript "var remove = document.getElementById('HRS_AL_LOG_SRCH_HRS_SEARCH_BTN'); remove.parentNode.removeChild(remove)"
'Check that the frame behaves correctly
If Browser("Base Navigation Page").Page("Manage Resumes").PSFrame("Application Log").WebButton("Search").Exist Then
