Finding nested iFrame using Selenium 2
15,078
I'm currently testing on a similar website. (nested iframes inside the main document)
<div>
<iframe>
<iframe><iframe/>
<iframe/>
</div>
It seems that you are not using the frame switching method provided in Api. This could be the problem.
Here is what I'm doing, it works fine for me.
//make sure it is in the main document right now
driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
//find the outer frame, and use switch to frame method
IWebElement containerFrame = driver.FindElement(By.Id("ContentContainer"));
driver.SwitchTo().Frame(containerFrame);
//you are now in iframe "ContentContainer", then find the nested iframe inside
IWebElement contentFrame = driver.FindElement(By.Id("Content"));
driver.SwitchTo().Frame(contentFrame);
//you are now in iframe "Content", then find the elements you want in the nested frame now
IWebElement foo = driver.FindElement(By.Id("foo"));

I am writing tests for a legacy application in which there is an iFrame within the main document, and then another iFrame within that. So the hierarchy is:
Html Div (id = tileSpace) iFrame (id = ContentContainer) iFrame (id = Content) Elements
This is my code (I am using C#)
RemoteWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(); var tileSpace = driver.FindElement(By.Id("tileSpace")); var firstIFrame = tileSpace.FindElement(By.Id("ContentContainer")); var contentIFrame = firstIFrame.FindElement(By.Id("Content"));
The problem is, I am unable to reach the 2nd level iFrame i.e. contentIFrame
Any ideas?
