Find Element Missing in Source Code

[Eric Vandiver]

I am trying to complete a form using browser automation through Splinter.   Neither the element nor the form may be found in View Page Source.  However, I can view the element and form when I click Inspect (see pic).  The highlighted 'input id' is the element I would like to complete.  I have tried various find element techniques as described at https://splinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/finding.html.  For instance, when I run:

browser.find_by_id('optionChainSymbol').first.fill('AAPL')

I receive an error message stating:

ElementDoesNotExist: no elements could be found with id "optionChainSymbol"

How do I use browser automation to enter information into this form?

what is the website address

this xpath you can use
"//*[@class='lighter']"

example code c#
drv.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@class='lighter']")).SendKeys("example data");

but If there is an iframe on the page, it is necessary to use a different method.

Thank you for replying.

The site with which I am using browser automation requires login credentials from https://www.tdameritrade.com/.   I have successfully used browser automation on this site until I reached the page in question.

I used this code in python on an element after logging into the site:

browser.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='lighter']").send_keys('AAPL')

I received this error:

NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: //*[@class='lighter'] Stacktrace: WebDriverError@chrome://remote/content/shared/webdriver/Errors.jsm:188:5 NoSuchElementError@chrome://remote/content/shared/webdriver/Errors.jsm:400:5 

element.find/</<@chrome://remote/content/marionette/element.js:292:16

There appears to be an iframe on the page.  When I view page source, the following iframes are on the page:

<iframe id='noscript-frame' src="/grid/p/javascriptDisabled"></iframe>

<iframe id="vceIframe" name="vceIframe" src="/amer/html/blank.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>

<iframe id="agentIframe" name="agentIframe" src="/amer/html/blank.html" width="0" height="0" style="display:none;"></iframe>

<iframe data-dojo-attach-point="frameNode" id="snapticket" name="snapticket" frameborder="0" width="948px" height="124px" scrolling="no" src="/amer/html/blank.html"></iframe>

What method do I use for browser automation when there is an iframe on the page?

hi,

in case you have an ID for the frame you can do something like the below:

//Using the ID
driver.SwitchTo().Frame("buttonframe");

//Or using the name instead
driver.SwitchTo().Frame("myframe");

//Now we can click the button
driver.FindElement(By.TagName("button")).Click();
