Selenium and Iframe in HTML

Selenium and iframe in html

driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_tag_name("iframe")) assuming that driver is a healthy instance of webdriver. To continue with the default content do driver.switch_to.default_content()

EDIT: When you have switched to needed frame, locate your webelement as you always do. I guess (but not sure) in your case this will be a html/body, so

el = driver.find_element_by_xpath('html/body')

should be fine. And perform

el.send_keys('keys_to_send')

EDIT2: Before sending keys you may have to focus on the element (click should do the thing, a child element should appear). Or you can just place the needed text via JS.

driver.execute_script('document.body.innerHTML = "%s"' % text_var)

How to enter text in an iframe with Selenium and Python

There is an iframe

<iframe frameborder="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" src="/GBS/Authentication/Authenticate?redirectUrl=%2FGBS%2FProject&requestMode=Setup&isIframe=True" allowtransparency="true" style="border: none; width: 345px; height: 513px;"></iframe>

You can do the following to swap to it.

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "//*[@id='oxygen-container']/iframe")))

Import

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

Here's the full thing

driver.get("https://gbs.autodesk.com/GBS/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Sign In"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "//*[@id='oxygen-container']/iframe")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "userName"))).send_keys("test@mail.com")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "verify_user_btn"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "password"))).send_keys("mypassword")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "btnSubmit"))).click()

How to send text with selenium python to a iframe within a !DOCTYPE html?

The <p> element is within an <iframe> so 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 either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  driver.get('https://www.t-online.de/themen/e-mail')
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#textarea-WYSIWYG_ifr")))
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "body.mce-content-body#tinymce > p"))).send_keys("anynaynanya")
  

• Using XPATH:

  driver.get('https://www.t-online.de/themen/e-mail')
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@id='textarea-WYSIWYG_ifr']")))
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//body[@id='tinymce' and @class='mce-content-body']/p"))).send_keys("anynaynanya")
  

• 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

HTML page seems to add iframe element when opening chrome by selenium in python

You are facing issue due to synchronization .Kinddly find below solution to resolve your issue:

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

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"path ofchromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get("https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed")
iframe = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.TAG_NAME, "iframe")))
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(text(), 'Sign in to NCBI')]"))).click()

Output:

How to click on a link inside an iframe which is inside a frame using Selenium Webdriver and Java

I was able to get get it working by switching content by index. Using System.out.println(driver.getPageSource()); to log page source to console and make sure i am working at the right spot.
I tried to find iframes by tag and print their name as following.

List<WebElement> elements = DriverContext.driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));
elements.forEach(element -> System.out.println(element.getAttribute("name"))); // printed 'menu' and 'body', perfect

But, while switching content to iframe using name, tried also using WebDriverWait,

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

for whatever reason, it didn't work and kept throwing the exception as in the question.

Using index to switch to iframe followed by click on the element worked.

driver.switchTo().frame(0); // switch to frame
driver.switchTo().frame(0); // switch to first iframe

driver.findElement(By.id("elmt_XXXX_subMenu")).click();

Also, i had used WebDriverWait to wait for page load.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(webDriver -> ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return document.readyState").toString().equals("complete"));

Get fully generated DOM elements inside iframe using selenium and phantomJS with python

You can't get a full page_source. In the case of iframe, you should use the following command: switch_to.frame(iframe_element), so you can get an element inside

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

self.driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
self.driver.get(url)

WebDriverWait(self._driver, 50).until(
            EC.presence_of_all_elements_located
            ((By.XPATH,
              '//iframe[@id="iframegame"]'))
        )

iframe_element = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//iframe[@id="iframegame"]')

self.driver.switch_to.frame(iframe_element)

tag = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//tag')

And back again, you can get an outer element of iframe using the following command;

self.driver.switch_to.default_content()
