How to identify Web Element inside frame in Selenium webdriver


-> we cannot direct access the web element which are inside <frame> or <iframe>.

-> we should use switchTo() method to access webelement inside the <frame> or <iframe>.


Sytex:

driver.switchTo().frame()


And below syntex for return back from frame tag.

driver1.switchTo().defaultContent()




We can identify frame and use driver.switchTo().frame() has below methods


1) driver.switchTo().frame(name_or_id)
Here your iframe doesn't have id or name, so not for you.

Ex:

<frame id="search123" frameborder="0" style="border:">
<a id="link1" href="http:gmail.com">
<span lang="LBLSHOVIDEOS">Selenium</span></a>
</frame>


Script :

WebElement element1= driver1.findElement(By.id("Frame1"));
driver1.switchTo().frame(element1);
driver1.findElement(By.xpath("//a/span").click
driver1.switchTo().defaultContent();





2) driver.switchTo().frame(index)
This is the last option to choose, because using index is not stable enough as you could imagine. If this is your only iframe in the page, try driver.switchTo().frame(0)


Steps for know index of the Frame

1)goto html view

2)type iframe and find your required frame and count the value and switch to it using

oASelFW.driver.switchTo().frame(2);

if it is first frame then use oASelFW.driver.switchTo().frame(0);

if it is second frame then use oASelFW.driver.switchTo().frame(1); respectively




3) driver.switchTo().frame(iframe_element)

The most common one. You locate your iframe like other elements, then pass it into the method.


Ex:

<frame frameborder="0" style="border:">
<a id="link1" href="http:gmail.com">
<span lang="LBLSHOVIDEOS">Selenium</span></a>
</frame>


WebElement element1= driver1.findElement(By.xpath("/html/../Frame"));
driver1.switchTo().frame(element1);
driver1.findElement(By.xpath("//a/span").click
driver1.switchTo().defaultContent();
