  How can I find child elements of iFrame which is an element of the page?

  May 04, 2009 07:21 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  Can anyone help me with the way to find any child element of the iFrame control?

  All I can get is the Iframe control itself but its child elements count is 0.

  iFrame control is being navigated dynamically, i.e. based on user action on the page.

  Thanks

  Thanks for the reply...

  However it will not help me as I am looking a solution in LTAF (which this forum belongs to), not in javascript.

  Thanks anyways,

  Hello Jignesh,

   Frame support is comming in the next release of LTAF. All the pieces are in the April release already but the public API to expose it is missing, you can look this post http://forums.asp.net/t/1412750.aspx for a discussion of how to enable it for the current release.

   This is an example of how a test will look like that automates an iFrame (part of our sample app that will also be released):

   

  [WebTestMethod]
      public void PageWithIFrame()
      {
          HtmlPage page = new HtmlPage("TestFrameSet.htm");
  
  
          // get bottom frame
          HtmlPage bottomFrame = page.GetFramePage("bottomFrame");
  
  
          // verify title of frame
          Assert.AreEqual("This is the bottom frame with an iFrame", bottomFrame.Elements.Find("h1", 0).GetInnerText());
  
  
          // get the iFrame
          HtmlPage iFrame = bottomFrame.GetFramePage("theIFrame");
  
  
          //click on a button in frame
          iFrame.Elements.Find("ChangeSpanButton").Click();
          Assert.AreEqual("Button has been clicked", iFrame.Elements.Find("TheSpan").GetInnerText());
      }

  Hi Federico,

  I was able to get the frame elements by the way you suggested in earlier post. However I tried to make it more generic as mentioned in following code:

  HtmlPage.cs ...

  public BrowserInfo ExecuteCommand(BrowserCommand command)

  {

  command.Target.WindowIndex = this.WindowIndex;if (this.WindowIndex > 0)

  {

  command.Description += String.Format(" (Popup window: {0})", this.WindowIndex);

  }

  if (_useTargetFrame && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_targetFrame))

  {

  command.Target.FrameHierarchy = new string[1] { _targetFrame };

  }

  BrowserInfo browserInfo = this._commandExecutor.ExecuteCommand(Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, command, EXECUTE_COMMAND_TIMEOUT);

  ...

  }

  Some public properties in HtmlPage.cs...

  /// <summary>

  /// The target frame to execute the commands against

  /// </summary>

  public string TargetFrame

  {

  get { return _targetFrame; }set { _targetFrame = value; }

  }

  /// <summary>

  /// Indicates value to use the target frame for command execution

  /// </summary>

  public bool UseTargetFrame

  {

  get { return _useTargetFrame; }set { _useTargetFrame = value; }

  }

   

  And my test case looks like this:

  HomePage.TargetFrame = "Frame3IFrameMain"; //HomePage property represents homepage with frames...

  HomePage.UseTargetFrame = true;

  HtmlElement iL = HomePage.Elements.Find("slGroups_a", MatchMethod.Contains);

  iL.Click(WaitFor.Postback);

   

  Many Thanks....

  Now waiting for next release so we can run test cases more efficiently in single new window. Or can you provide any private code now which will behave like feature itself?

  Thanks,

  Hey Jignesh, I am glad that it worked out for you. The next release already includes improved frame support, code looks like this:

   HtmlPage framePage = originalPage.GetFramePage("TheNameOfTheFrame");

  Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I'll get to implement the auto run all tests on a popup window for the next release (coming first week of June). It is on our list of work items, but there are several other features ahead of it that are taking more time (plus the QA team has been very busy testing .NET 4.0).

  I can definetly send you a private build once I have it.
