How to handle an element inside the frame?

There are 4 ways to handles frames in selenium web driver.

Switch to frame by using index:

Method 1 :

Suppose if there is single frame in a webpage then we can switch to the iframe by using index.

Here is the sample code:

Syntax : driver.switchTo().frame(int index);

Example : driver.switchTo().frame(0);

Note : By default single frame index value ‘ 0’.That means when webpage has  only one frame then the index will be zero.

Method 2 :

Suppose if there are 3 frames in a webpage then we can switch to the iframe by using index.

Here is the sample code:

Syntax :

List framelist=driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));

driver.switchTo().frame(framelist.get(int index));

Example :

List framelist=driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));

 

//switchTo 1^st frame by using index

 

driver.switchTo().frame(framelist.get(0));

 

//switchTo 2nd frame by using index

 

driver.switchTo().frame(framelist.get(1));

 

//switchTo 3rd frame by using index

 

driver.switchTo().frame(framelist.get(2));

Switch to frame by using Id or Name :

We can also use Name and Id attributes of iframe through which we can switch to iframes.

Here is the sample code:

Syntax 1:

driver.switchTo().frame(“Id of  the element”);

Html code :

                                                                                  Example : driver.switchTo().frame(“rightMenu”);

Syntax 2:

driver.switchTo().frame(“Name of  the element”);

Html code :

Example :

driver.switchTo().frame(“rightMenu”);

Switch to frame by using WebElement :

We can also switch to the frame using webelement.

Here is the sample code:

Syntax :

driver.switchTo().frame(WebElement);

Html code :

Example : driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.name(“rightMenu”)));

How to get all the frames in a webpage ?

Html code :

Open notepad and type the below Html code and save as frames.html

 

 

 

 

Click on Gmail

 

 

Example :

package seleniumProject;

 

import java.util.List;

 

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

 

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

 

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

 

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

 

public class getTotalFrames {

 

          public static void main(String[] args) {

 

//   Open Firefox Browser  

 

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

 

//   Open AppURL In Browser

 

        driver.get("file:///C:/Users/Hanumanthu/Downloads/frames.html");

 

 // count all the frames on a webpage

 

List total_frames=driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));

 

System.out.println(total_frames.size());

 

//close the current browser window

 

driver.close();

 

          }

}

How to verify TestNg text inside 3^rd frame?

Selenium Sample Code :

package seleniumProject;

import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class getTotalFrames {

          public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Open Firefox Browser  

  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

   //  Open AppURL In Browser

                driver.get("file:///C:/Users/Hanumanthu/Downloads/frames.html");

 //count all the frames on a webpage

 List total_frames=driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));

  System.out.println(total_frames.size());

 //Switch to 3rd Frame by using Index

   driver.switchTo().frame(total_frames.get(2));

  //Identify and get the text and store into testNg_text variable

 String testNg_text=driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/h2[1]")).getText();

   //print the text from 3rd frame

   System.out.println(testNg_text);

  //verify the text from 3rd frame

              if(testNg_text.equals("TestNG"))

       {

             System.out.println("TestNG text verified successfully");

       }else

       {

             System.out.println("TestNG text not verified successfully");

       }

 //How switch back to main window from inside any frame ?

   driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

   //Close the Firefox Browser

     driver.close();

          }

}

Note :

1. Switch to 3^rd Frame by using Index

Syntax :   driver.switchTo().frame(total_frames.get(index));

Example :   driver.switchTo().frame(total_frames.get(2));

2.Switch to 3^rd  Frame by using Id

Syntax :   driver.switchTo().frame(“Id of the element”);

Example :   driver.switchTo().frame(“selenium”);

If no id then go for Name.

3.Switch to 3^rd  Frame by using Name

Syntax :   driver.switchTo().frame(“Name of the element”);

Example :   driver.switchTo().frame(“selenium”);

 4.Switch to 3^rd  Frame by using WebElement

 Syntax :   driver.switchTo().frame(WebElement);

Example :   driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.name(“selenium”);

How switch back to main window from inside any frame ?

Syntax : driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
