Is there a way to ...

[VAMSI DADI]

Hi,

I have multiple frames in my page. I am not sure in which frame I might have an element X.

But, I need to switch to a frame which contains an element X and perform an operation on it.

Is there any way I can directly switch to that Frame based on the element property like id or name? 

Regards,
Vamsi

I don't think so.

You have to traverse via every frame then you can access element or object.

You can't do that until you switch to the particular frame where element X is present...
Just create a loop saying that if the elements.size()==0, then switch to different frame... Hope this helps

You may be able to call into a frame’s document object model if it is a
child of the parent document using JavaScript, but it will not be
possible for WebDriver to _interact_ with any element from that frame
before you switch to it.

This is because WebDriver operates modally on the current browsing
context.
