I am writing cucumber feature and I need to fill value in text field within iframe. I have tried with
find("#user_email").set "malicious_value"
but couldn't get success. I have selenium webdriver.
This is ruby code with selenium to switch in iframe. you can do it by:
#Move into iframe
page.driver.browser.switch_to.frame "name or id of frame"
#Move to default content or outsite frame
page.driver.browser.switch_to.default_content
If you want to do any thing inside the frame. First you have to go inside the frame.
Code to enter the frame:
//Assume driver is initiated properly some where.
driver.switchTo.frame(FrameName);
(Or)
driver.switchTo.frame(FrameIndexValue);
(Or)
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id(LocatorValue));
driver.switchTo.frame(element);
After finishing your action inside the frame. You have to come out to frame by using
code to leave the frame:
driver.switchTo.defaultContent();
If you are dealing with the iframe then the defaultContent() will take you to the main page above all the iframes, but if you deal with the frame this method will take you to the first frame of the page.

I go to the frame on the site using the code
driver.SwithToFrame(0)
How can I find out now in focus the main site or frame?
To validate if the focus is on the Top Browsing Context or within the iframe, you can switch to the active_element and then print the outerHTML and you can use the following solution:
driver.switch_to.frame(0)
element = driver.switch_to.active_element
print(element.get_attribute("outerHTML"))
The Selenium webdriver locator always puts elements on top of the page if scrolling is needed, but it wont take into account a floating header. At the moment I created a workaround with
Actions actions = new Actions(this.webdriver);
actions.sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_UP).perform();
Isnt there a nicer solution to tell the webdriver to center an element in the middle of the screen instead or with a fixed distance to the top?
The orange part is from the button the blue part is the header:
hidden button in orange
In my case, I choose to hide that floating element.
top = dr.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#node-type="top_all"]')
dr.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('style','display:none')", top)
After that, move to the element I want, I can even add an offset.
Bring the element into view using javascript. Here is a possible solution:
Bring the element into the view port using selenium api.
Use javascript to figure out if the element is obstructed by another element, (floating header / footer etc...).
Use javascript to scroll to the middle of the view port.
See the javascript utility class I created here: https://github.com/gterre/stuff
usage...JavascriptUtils.bringIntoView(WebElement element);
I'm sure you can modify the script to your needs.
Selenium also has the ability to not scroll items to the top of the window before interacting with them (and therefore hiding them behind a floating header) but instead to the bottom.
This is achieved via the 'elementScrollBehavior' capability which can be set to 1 to scroll stuff to the bottom.
See this stack overflow for how it's done in capybara.
I solved the problem like this, so you just need to define in which cases your element is not in scope and add this method, it will automatically scroll it into view:
public void scroll_element_into_view(WebElementFacade element) {
int Y = (element.getLocation().getY() - 200);
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) getDriver();
js.executeScript("javascript:window.scrollTo(0," + Y + ");");}
Works for every element you can find by id, css, xpath or whatsoever.
On the screenhsot below is HTML-code of iframe.
The first two red marked object can be identified by Webdriver however the last marked (which is a button) can't be clicked by Webdriver. I have tried click it using different ways (like click by id, name, etc). But I still can't click the submit button.
Please help me to click that submit button inside the frame.
You need to use switchTo().frame() to access content within a frame or iframe.
driver.switchTo().frame("name"); // where name is the name of the iframe i.e. name="frameName", you would use framename
driver.switchTo().frame(0); // You can switch to the frame by index
driver.switchTo().frame(element); // You can switch to the frame by a WebElement reference
In your particular case you can use:
driver.switchTo().frame("InstantSgn");
To switch out of the frame after you're done within the iframe context:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Same issue happened to me today. It might be simply due to you not switching to the frame, or it could be something I experienced.
This happened to me in IE only. In Chrome there is no problem at all.
Actual Code
As you can see, I did switch to the frame to make sure this element could be found. But, it could not be. The only solution that I found was to put Thread.Sleep(2000) to make it pass. I am not quite sure why, but I guess it has something to do with the content not being available in the DOM.
In selenium web-driver, when I run this code both statements run fine and do not throw any errors i.e. it recognizes 2 frames in the user interface.
The issue is:
I see only 1 frame in user interface.
When I try to access any element, it says object not visible.
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
driver.switchTo().frame(1);
Solution tried:
Printed screenshot of both the frames to distinguish between the 2, but it prints the same screenshot for both the frames.
If you are trying to access elements in the parent page after having switched to an iframe, you will have to return context back to the default content using:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
and then try to access your element.
I am using Selenium Server to test a widget-based webpage. All of the widgets are contained within an iFrame, and each widget contains its own iFrame. I'm trying to manipulate elements within specific widgets specified by title, but Selenium seems to be unable to recognize anything past the second iFrame.
The title of the widget is within the first iFrame, and I need to use it to determine which iFrame to select next. The code that I'm using to select the frame looks something like this:
selenium.selectFrame("css=div.widgetheader:contains(TITLE)+widgetbody iFrame);
However, when I attempt to access the elements within the iFrame, Selenium is unable to locate them.
Any thoughts on how to get Selenium to recognize the elements within this second frame?
If you try to enter iframe that is nested inside another iframe, 2 iframe "switching" must be perform.
For example:
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id("frameId1"))); //switching driver to first iframe
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id("frameId2"))); //switching driver to second iframe
//Now, do your stuff.
To return to initial location (pare, use:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Also, there can be situations when we not be able to get the iframe values. In this case, you can use tagName method.
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe").get(0));
