Find Elements Inside Forms and Iframe Using Java and Selenium Webdriver

Find elements inside forms and iframe using Java and Selenium WebDriver

Before you try searching for the elements within the iframe you will have to switch Selenium focus to the iframe.

Try this before searching for the elements within the iframe:

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.name("iFrameTitle")));

Unable to locate element within an iframe through Selenium

You need to switch to the frame to write text in the textbox, try to check syntax once as I have less in good in Python

framLogin= driver.find_element_by_id("membeeLoginIF")
driver.switch_to.frame(framLogin)
EmailTxt = driver.find_element_by_name("txtUserName");
EmailTxt.send_Keys("Test@gmail.com");

Same in Java

WebElement framLogin= driver.findElement(By.id("membeeLoginIF"));
driver.switchTo().frame(framLogin);
WebElement EmailTxt = driver.findElement(By.name("txtUserName"));
EmailTxt.sendKeys("Test@gmail.com");

How to locate an element inside iFrame using Selenium and Python

As the the desired element is within an <iframe> so to invoke click() on the element you have to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

• You can use the following Locator Strategies::

  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin' and contains(@class, 'credit-card-iframe')]")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='creditCardNumber' and @data-shortname='cc']"))).send_keys("35663565444")
    

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Selenium - Unable to find input elements inside iframe using SwitchTo()

wait=WebDriverWait(driver,10) 
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"#tab1")))

You are using Java use Python instead and waits.

driver.SwitchTo().Frame(driver.FindElement(By.id("tab1")));

Imports:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Not able to find an element in iframe using Xpath and Selenium

To click() on the element to search, as the the desired element is within a <iframe> so you have to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt.
• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elementToBeClickable.
• You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
  

  • Using cssSelector:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.cssSelector("iframe_cssSelector")));
    new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("td.gsc-search-button > button.gsc-search-button.gsc-search-button-v2"))).click();
    

  • Using xpath:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("iframe_xpath")));
    new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[@class='gsc-search-button']/button[@class='gsc-search-button gsc-search-button-v2']"))).click();
