Find Frame name

[ARK Satyanarayana Raju]

Hi,
     Can any one say how to find frame name in selenium webdriver using Java.

Find frame name to the following scenario:
-> Open "http://www.capella.edu/"
-> Click on "Email"
-> Find the frame name of the opened pop up.


Thanks,
Raju

Hi Raju,

You can use Firefox plugins FireBug and FirePath to detect parameters of objects on the pages.

For example, this iframe has the following xpath: .//*[@id='modal-iframe']

and you can use this id 'modal-iframe' in your code.

Regards,

Timur

Additionally,

We can use method

WebElement frame = driver.findElement(By.tagName("iframe"));

The detailed information can be found by the following link: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.jsp

The other simple way to find frame is, install IDE plugin of Firefox and record the the steps. You will get frame name in that :)

check the tag name by driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='modal-iframe']")).getTagName() to confirm that the returned element is a frame.

[Timur Nurlygayanov]

You can use the following:

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[3]/iframe")));

instead 

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='modal-iframe']")));

I tested it and it is works on my laptop.

Emailofvm,

Thanks for your idea, it is the simplest method to determine locators for selenium,

but it is does not work, selenium IDE does not detect the iframe on this page.

Timur

[ARK Satyanarayana Raju]

Hi sir,

     Thanks it works fine. How u find

driver.switchTo().frame(

driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[3]/iframe")));
Can u say? If possible provide snap shot.

Thanks,
Raju

[Timur Nurlygayanov]

Hi Raju,

To determine this locator I perform the following actions:

1. Install Firefox + FireBug + FirePath

2. Open link http://www.capella.edu/ in Firefox browser

3. Click on 'Email' link.

4. Enable FireBug plugin and find this iframe by mouse click on the popup form.

5. Click right mouse button on the iframe HTML element in FireBug console and select 'Copy xPath'.

The xPath of the element will be copied to clipboard.

The short video with all actions can be downloaded by the following link:

Hi,

I'm late on this topic, but want to share my 'frame mechanism''...

When interacting with frames, you probably get lost where you are... You switch forward, switch back, etc.

This method helps me. It navigates through frames and when his name matches to where I want to go, then selenium switches...

It selenium backed webdriver, ok?



  public void selectFrame(String frameId)
  {

    selenium.selectFrame("relative=up");
    if (frameId.contains(":"))
    {
      String[] arr = frameId.split(":");
      winName = arr[0];
      frame = arr[1];
      selenium.selectWindow(winName);
      selenium.selectFrame(frame);
    }
    else
    {
      selenium.selectFrame(frameId);

[Timur Nurlygayanov]

Hi,

Gustavo, good idea, thanks for your code example.

Raju, this problem with selenium-focus on the current frame.
After each

driver.switchTo().frame()

function call we should call function

driver.switchTo().defaultContent()

to switch to the main page.

To close this pop up we use the following code:

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

close_button = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[3]/a"));

close_button.Click();

Regards,

Timur

Hi Raju,

It is my typo mistake, need to change line

WebElement close_button = driver.findElement(By.className("/html/body/div[4]/a"));

to 

WebElement close_button = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[4]/a")); 

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Timur

Thanks Timur. It works with below code.

WebElement close_button = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='modal-iframe']/a"));
 close_button.click();

Can u explain what is the use of the following method.
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Here defaultContent(); means....

Thanks,
Raju
