I am relatively new to Selenium. We are using the Selenium IDE to do some regression testing. I have a menu bar that has different buttons on it that will drop down a menu when you hover over any of the buttons (there are 4 buttons on the menu bar). So when i select one of the menu items from the dropdown, it opens a page inside the same window. This page looking at the debug info in Selenium seems to be a frame. This frame open right under the menu bar and the menu bar is still visible. Once the page has loaded completely, I want to go outside the frame and click on a button on the menu bar and click on the next item to verify. This doesnt seem to work, once the page (frame) has loaded then nothing happens. I have tried using window focus, select frame, mouse over commands but nothing seem to work. i have also used the relative = parent and relative = top commands with the select frame command but cant get it to work.
Any tips or suggestions are welcome. If I am not clear on the description I can provide more details. Thanks for the assist.
If the control is outside of the frame Selenium is pointing to, then you need to switch back to default content, and possibly switch to the frame the control is in.
Driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
Driver.SwitchTo().Frame(frameID);
you should firstly switch to appropriate frame where your button is located in:
1. Switch to frame
Command: selectFrame
Target: your_frame_id
2. Click button
Command: click
Target: your_button_id (or you can use XPath or CSS selector instead)

As the title says, I want to move, clicking a button in task bar , a frameless window out and in of screen right edge .One way to achieve this under kde neon in QML, is to create a PlasmaCore.Dialog{} window and setting as flags the Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint only, so the window manager is bypassed.The problem with this solution is that, inside window, where i "append" some widgets in a ListView, I can not have activeFocus to TextArea and I can not type anything there. The TextArea gains activeFocus only if I use as flags the Qt.Popup only without Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint.
So is there an alternative solution of making the window sliding in an out from screen right edge without using the flags of Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint? In the below link is the code I am using now for sliding window:

EDIT 1
After a lot trying and error I found that the use of flags Qt.BypassWindowManagerHint and Qt.Popup do the trick.Now I can slide the window outside screen edge and also type in TextArea inside a widget .
In Selenium, I want to retrieve or scroll elements in a popup window as shown in the figure.
The usual "driver.find_elements_by_class_name~" will not get the elements in the popup window.
handle_array = driver.window_handles
driver.switch_to.window(handle_array[1])
I could not get it by using
How can I get it?
CLICK IMAGE
So I'm trying to hit this button to activate the dropdown menu, but it seems that only half of it works, Im afraid the automation is clicking the top bottom or somewhere where is not active, let me illustrate with a few screenshots, which will contain a comparisson. ALSO can I click on one of the options from the dropdown without "activating it"? (clicking the DropDown Button)
Now another example from the button fully working
I have found that the button fully works if it's the first one to be clicked, if I click something else, then this issue happens, and that's only button with this issue
In the Intellij Settings I activated Editor > General > Show quick documentation on mouse move and I like it. But when there is a warning message also shown as popup when the mouse hovers over, then the documentation popup just hides the warning like this:
Well, that's not nice. Is there a way to solve that?
The are a couple of alternatives to displaying the quick documentation as a popup:
Display the quick documentation in a separate panel.
Display the quick documentation in a floating window.
To display the quick documentation in a separate panel:
Position the mouse so that the quick documentation popup is displayed.
Click the Options icon in the bottom right of the popup.
Select Open as a Tool Window from the drop down menu.
After doing that the quick documentation popup is displayed in a panel on the right. It is still automatically updated as you move the mouse.
Alternatively, to display the quick documentation as a floating window:
Click the Options icon in the top right corner of the panel.
Select Windowed Mode from the drop down menu.
After doing that the quick documentation is shown as a floating window which you can position wherever you want. You could even place it on another screen if you have multiple screens. Again the content is still automatically updated as you move the mouse.
Select Open as a Popup from the Options drop down menu on the panel or the floating window (or press CTL/Q) to revert to using a popup for the quick documentation.
The best choice is a matter of personal taste, but both of those approaches would solve your overlapping popups problem.
Update:
The previous screen shots were produced using IDEA Ultimate 2018.1 EAP. With Ultimate 2017.3 it seems that the situation is slightly different. After clicking the Options icon, only a control to adjust the font is shown. In that case click the Pin icon in the top right of the window:
After doing that click the Options icon in the top right of the window to see the menu options:
I am working on selinium IDE. I wan to use mouse scroll command to a pop up menu. it works perfectly fine with window scroll bar. But can't use for pop up menu scroll bar.
"selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow()" will scroll the main window only. Not the one that currently active.
Command Target Value
store 40 i
store 0 looptimes
while storedVars.looptimes <= 20
storeEval selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().scrollTo(0,${i})
store javascript{storedVars.looptimes++;}
storeEval ${i}+40 i
endWhile
I am attaching screen shot of command and my screen.
The above is the code. below is my pop up menu
Please tell me how to do this.
You will need to tell selenium to change framesI think, to do this you will have to use the selectFrameCommand:
selectFrame ( locator ) Selects a frame within the current window.
(You may invoke this command multiple times to select nested frames.)
To select the parent frame, use "relative=parent" as a locator; to
select the top frame, use "relative=top". You can also select a frame
by its 0-based index number; select the first frame with "index=0", or
the third frame with "index=2". You may also use a DOM expression to
identify the frame you want directly, like this:
dom=frames["main"].frames["subframe"]
Arguments:
locator - an element locator identifying a frame or iframe
Once you have changed to the correct frame the mouse scroll should work
