xii) Handle Frames

> HTML frames are used to divide the Browser window into multiple sections, where each section can load a separate HTML document.

> Frames are sections of Web page displayed on top window.

> Whenever we access the page then focus on the top window.

Switch to a frame is done in two ways

1) Using frame index

Syntax:

driver.swithchTo().frame(int index);

Example:

driver.switchTo().frame(2);


2) Using frame name

Syntax:

frame Name);

Example:




> Top window to a Frame (frame index/frame name)

> Switch from a frame to Top window

Syntax:



> Launch the page
> Switch to 3rd frame
> Operate an element
> Back to Top window
> Switch to 1st frame
> Operate an element

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

//Switch to 3rd frame
driver.switchTo().frame(2);

Thread.sleep(3000);
//Switch from 3rd frame to Top window

Thread.sleep(3000);
//Switch to 1st frame
driver.switchTo().frame(0);


WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Thread.sleep(3000);
//Switch to 3rd frame


Thread.sleep(3000);
//Switch from 3rd frame to Top window

Thread.sleep(3000);
//Switch to 1st frame


}
}

xiii) Handle Mouse hover

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//create Action builder instance by passing WebDriver instance
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
WebElement menuElement = Us Your Car"));



xiv) Handle Multiple Browsers

String parent = driver.getWindowHandle();
//System.out.println(parent);

Set <String> Handles = driver.getWindowHandles();
int BrowserCount = Handles.size();


for (String s1:Handles){
if (! s1.equals(parent)){
driver.switchTo().window(s1);

}
}



Handle Duplicate objects

Redirecting to GCR Shop User Interface from Admin Interface
(After Login to Admin Interface then Redirect to User Interface)

Example:



String url = driver.getCurrentUrl();
Catalog")).click();
}

}
}

Assignment:

Enter Password in to 2nd Password Edit box in www.infibeam.com Registration page.

[anilbabu]

Hi sir. very nice explanation. how to differentiate duplicate web elements if all the locators are same(given assignment in this course). I tried but able to access only first password option. Thanks in advance.

[anupraj]

Hi sir..
Can you please give example for duplicate objects on same page. In my case, same screen having different web elements like text box, drop down with same all element locators (duplicate objects).
Thanks

[juliemjacob]

driver.get("URL") always opens the browser in a minimised mode. Any ides why?

[sahasra]

Where can I get the sample Webpages you have created in this lesson?

[shailendrabhattarai]

xiv) Handling multiple browsers: In this section, do you mean 'multiple browser' or 'multiple window' ? because when the 'sign-in' button is clicked it opens second window but the browser is still 'Firefox'.

[KrishnaPriya-rumo]
