PONot able access elements inside frames in IE, but works fine in Chrome and FireFox
text
Body
copied!<p>I am using Selenium webdriver to automate a web application, that has many frames.</p> <p>The elements inside frame are not getting identified when I run my scripts in IE,and I get an exception "<strong>Unable to find element with link text == testing</strong>". But this works perfectly in Chrome and Firefox.</p> <p>I went through many related discussion, and tried the following work arounds, but they dint help.</p> <ul> <li>Inserted wait statement before and after switching the frame. </li> <li>Disabled proxy setting for IE. Modified IE setting to display both secure and non secure contents</li> <li>Checked 'Allow active contents to run in files on my computer' check box under Internet options -> Advanced -> security in IE settings.</li> </ul> <p>I use, </p> <p>Selenium webdriver version 2.35.0.0 IE version: 7 Programming language: c#</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> </p> <ul> <li>The application has dynamic name and id for frames, hence I have used index for switching the frames.</li> </ul> <p>I tried saving the application opened in chrome and IE as a html page. When I open the saved html page using a browser,</p> <ul> <li><p>The one saved from chrome shows all the elements inside the frame.</p></li> <li><p>The one saved from IE doesn't show any elements inside the frame.</p></li> </ul> <p>It would be great if I get a solution to handle elements inside the frames.</p> <p>Am not able to provide the full html code, but have attached the screenshot of a part of html code. </p> <p>I tried saving the complete html page using Chrome and IE. And I do observe a difference in them.</p> <p>This is the snapshot of html code that is saved from chrome. Here I do see "<strong>< div class="mocha</strong>" division, that has the frame.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/K0jES.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>This is the snapshot of html code that is saved from IE.

Let me know, if I had to provide more information.</p>
