How to Switch Over the Elements in iframes using Web Driver Commands
After identifying the iframe if we need to handle a web element that is present on the iframe, in such cases, we need to change the focus of selenium from the main page to the iframe. There are three different ways to shift the focus of selenium from the main page to the iframe.
1. With the help of the index
Syntax:
driver.switchTo().frame(index);
the index always starts from zero (0,1,2,3,…..)
2. With the help of id/name
Syntax:
driver.switchTo().frame(“idvalue/namevalue”);
here we need to identify the id value or name value from the HTML codes of the iframe.
3. With the help of web element
Syntax:
driver.switchTo().frame(webelement);
here we need to declare a webelement by using attributes of iframe.
