How to Effectively Handle Nested iFrames in Selenium WebDriver with Java?

Managing Nested iFrames Using Selenium WebDriver in Java

Problem:

In a scenario with nested iFrames, you need to navigate to an inner iFrame to manipulate its elements, then return to the outer iFrame to interact with its contents. However, you encounter an issue where navigating back to the outer iFrame fails to locate elements within it.

Resolution:

To effectively handle nested iFrames, follow these steps:

1. Switch to Outer iFrame:

   <code class="java">driver.switchTo().frame("cq-cf-frame");</code>

2. Switch to Inner iFrame:

   <code class="java">driver.switchTo().Frame("cq-gen379");</code>

3. Interact with Inner iFrame Element:

   <code class="java">driver.findElement(By.id("CQrte").sendKeys("Tnx");</code>

4. Switch out of Inner iFrame:
   Do not use "relative" or "parent". Instead, switch to the default content (outside all frames) using:

   <code class="java">driver.switchTo().defaultContent();</code>

5. Switch back to Outer iFrame:

   <code class="java">driver.switchTo().frame("cq-cf-frame");</code>

6. Interact with Outer iFrame Element:

   <code class="java">driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='OK']")).click();</code>

Additional Notes:

• It's crucial to switch out of the inner iFrame before switching back to the outer iFrame to avoid issues in element location.
• If you don't switch to the inner iFrame (cq-gen379), you can directly click the "OK" button in the outer iFrame.
