How to switch between frames in Selenium WebDriver using Java

I am using java with WebDriver.I have to switch between two frames. I have recorded the test case in selenium IDE and in that I got the values as selectFrame relative=top select Frame=middle Frame

But there is a problem it is not able to recognize the relative=top and middleFrame. How can I solve this problem in Selenium WebDriver with Java?

Solution 1:

WebDriver's driver.switchTo().frame() method takes one of the three possible arguments:

• A number.

  Select a frame by its (zero-based) index. That is, if a page has three frames, the first frame would be at index 0, the second at index 1 and the third at index 2. Once the frame has been selected, all subsequent calls on the WebDriver interface are made to that frame.

• A name or ID.

  Select a frame by its name or ID. Frames located by matching name attributes are always given precedence over those matched by ID.

• A previously found WebElement.

  Select a frame using its previously located WebElement.

Get the frame by it's id/name or locate it by driver.findElement() and you'll be good.

Solution 2:

to switchto a frame:

driver.switchTo.frame("Frame_ID");

to switch to the default again.

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
