So right now I\'m trying to figure out how I can switch focus to a frame in Selenium 2 when the frame has no name or id? For a named frame I do:
driver.Switc
You can just give the id of your iframe instead of iframe-name.
Please see my below example, it worked for me.
In the example I am switching to one iframe in my page and clicking on the element in that iframe, which is "worksheet0" .
Use the code :
driver.switchTo().frame("topframe");
WebElement worksheet0 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*@id='reportSelect:Worksheet_lbl']")); worksheet0.click();
The HTMLof the iframe :
< iframe id="topframe" height="83px" frameborder="0" width="100%" scrolling="NO" '1331808552380'"="" +="" src="initialize.do?init=header&cacheBuster=" name="topframe" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
You can use the index of the frame. Since you don't have name and id for the frame, driver.switchTo().frame(int frameIndex)
driver.switchTo.frame() is overloaded to accept a frame name or an integer. This int is a 0 based index of the frames available. The first frame would be 0, the second 1 and so on.
I've just run a really quick test using the java binding and Firefox against this HTML page.
<html>
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frame src="frame_a.htm" />
<frame src="frame_b.htm" />
</frameset>
</html>
I'm successfully able to use driver.switchTo().frame(0); to refer to frame a and driver.switchTo().frame(1); to access frame b.
In selenium if you know that the relative location of the frame you should be able to use the selectFrame command with the string "relative=up" to move it up a frame e.g. selenium.SelectFrame("relative=up");
or to jump to the top frame use "relative=top"
In addition to using the index (as the other answers suggest), in C# you can select the iFrame by tagName. My example assumes there is one and only one iFrame on the page.
try
{
var iFrameElement = Driver.FindElementByTagName("iFrame");
var driver = Driver.SwitchTo().Frame(this.iFrameElement);
var element = driver.FindElement(selector);
// do what you need with the element
}
finally
{
// don't forget to switch back to the DefaultContent
Driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
}
Note: You have to get the information from the IWebElement .Text or .Click for example, before calling Driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
I created these extensions methods to help
public static IWebDriver SwitchToIFrame(this RemoteWebDriver driver)
{

// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3549584/selenium-2-switching-focus-to-a-frame-that-has-no-name-id
var iFrameElement = driver.FindElementByTagName("iFrame");
return driver.SwitchTo().Frame(iFrameElement);
}
public static void SwitchOutOfIFrame(this IWebDriver driver)
{
driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
}
An example of using the extensions methods:
public void ClickPrintButton()
{
var iFrameDriver = Browser.Driver.SwitchToIFrame();
try
{
iFrameDriver.FindElement(By.Id("saveButton")).Click();
}
finally
{
Browser.Driver.SwitchOutOfIFrame();
}
}
