[Interest] Handle frames and web forms with QWebEngine

[NoRulez]

I tried to use m_pWebEngineView->page()->runJavaScript() after the site is loaded, but it returns QVariant(QVariantMap, QMap()) for most of the time.

It seems that it can handle only simple queries like "document.title" but not for example "window.frames['MyFrame].document.forms[0].elements".
With which I expect a list of maps or similar to get the form elements.

Best Regards
