Question

It has 3 different frames, how do I navigate myself to the

Answer 1

You can actually select an iFrame using the below methods: -

• frame(index)

• frame(Name of Frame [or] Id of the frame)

• frame(WebElement frameElement)

• defaultContent()

So you can switch by passing the any above information about the frame. Yes you need to switch everytime according to require action

As we can see your frame have different name like :- top, navigation etc. Use name of the frame to switch between them

Example:-

driver.SwitchTo().Frame("top");

.... Perform your action on frame

driver.SwitchTo().defaultContent();

driver.SwitchTo().Frame("navigation");

.... Perform your action on frame

driver.SwitchTo().defaultContent();

Hope it will help you :)

Answer 2

I have done this in the past using:

m_internetExplorerDriver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
//put your name or id instead, e.g. "navigation" instead of "menuframe"
m_internetExplorerDriver.SwitchTo().Frame("menuframe"); 

Basically you use the Frame() method to switch between frames..
