In Selenium Web Driver How to Choose the Correct Iframe

in selenium web driver how to choose the correct iframe

I just checked in the website, they (the elements you are looking for) are NOT in any iframe tag.

Following code worked for me (changed to xpath, no need to switch):

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Cash Flow')]").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Balance Sheet')]").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Quarterly')]").click()

Note: It might be the reason that for "Financials", parent tag is a which represent a link, but for other elements (Cash Flow, Balance sheet), parent tag is div which is not a link tag. so find_element_by_link_text might not have been worked.

Switching between iframes:

You have to switch to the frame in which the element is present before we try to identify it.

Lets assume, your element is inside 3 iframes as follows:

<iframe name="frame1">
  <iframe name="frame2">
     <iframe name="frame3">
        <span>CashFlow</span> <! Span element is inside of 3 iframes>
    </iframe>
    <span>balance sheet> <! Span element is inside of 2 iframes>
  </iframe>
</iframe>

Now, if you want to identify CashFlow which is inside the three iFrames:

    driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_name("frame1")) // here, you can provide WebElement representing the iFrame or the index.
    driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_name("frame2"))
    driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_name("frame3"))
    driver.find_element_by_link_text("CachFlow")

    # switch to default frame before you again try find some other element which is not in the same frame (frame3)

   driver.switch_to_default_content()

   # then navigate to the frame that you want to indentify the element:
   driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_name("frame1")) 
   driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_name("frame2"))
   driver.find_element_by_link_text("balance sheet")

  # switch to default content again
  driver.switch_to_default_content()

Note: I used Frame References instead of indexes as you mentioned there are 9 iFrames. so, using indexes would be confusing. If you can't identify frameElement, then only go for indices.

Can't select an Iframe in selenium webdriver

the problem was solved by finding the iFrame by xpath

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
driver.switchTo().frame( driver.findElement( By.xpath( iframeXpath ) ) );

and then return to the top window:

 driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Select iframe using Python + Selenium

What finally worked for me was:

        sel.run_script("$('#upload_file_frame').contents().find('img[alt=\"Humana\"]').click();")

Basically, don't use selenium to find the link in the iframe and click on it; use jQuery. Selenium has the capability to run an arbitrary piece of javascript apparently (this is python-selenium, I am guessing the original selenium command is runScript or something), and once I can use jQuery I can do something like this: Selecting a form which is in an iframe using jQuery

How to handle iframe in Selenium WebDriver using java

In Webdriver, you should use driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); to get out of a frame.
You need to get out of all the frames first, then switch into outer frame again.

// between step 4 and step 5
// remove selenium.selectFrame("relative=up");
driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); // you are now outside both frames
driver.switchTo().frame("cq-cf-frame");
// now continue step 6
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='OK']")).click(); 

Switching to iframes in Selenium-Java

Try to execute this code.

WebElement iframe = driver.findElement(By.tagName("iframe"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);                                //Move inside to the frame. 
WebElement body = driver.findElement(By.tagName("body"));
body.click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Enter Country']")).click();
Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='combobox']")));
dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Portugal");
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();                            //Move outside to the frame.
