HTML outlines are utilized to isolate your program window into numerous segments where each part can stack a different HTML report. An assortment of edges in the program window is known as a frame set. The window is partitioned into outlines likewise the tables are composed: into lines and segments.

 Handle Frames/iFrames:-

switch_to.frame(name)

Process:

This web page is divided into three frames, left top (1st frame) and left bottom(2nd frame) and the third frame. All the frames interconnected. Then we perform these actions by selenium:

• First of all, switch to the default frame to the first frame.
• Then find the element using link text method
• Go back to the default frame.
• Then go to the 2nd frame
• Find element using the link text method
• Go back to the default frame
• Then switch to the 3rd frame.
• Then find element by x path.

Implementation:

# importing the modules
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
import time

# using chrome driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# web page url
driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/docs/api/java/index.html")

# switch to 1st frame
driver.switch_to.frame("packageListFrame")

# click on 1st frame
driver.find_element_by_link_text("org.openqa.selenium.opera").click()

# back to default web page frame
driver.switch_to.default_content()

# switch to 2nd frame
driver.switch_to.frame("packageFrame")

# click on  2nd frame 
driver.find_element_by_link_text("OperaOptions").click()

# back to default web page frame
driver.switch_to.default_content()

# switch to 3rd frame
driver.switch_to.frame("classFrame")

# click on  2nd frame
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/ul/li[4]/a').click()
time.sleep(4)
