Switch between Frames using webdriver

Here is the simple example how to switch between frames.


There are three ways to switch between frames.

INDEX:
Frame(int index)
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.

ID OR NAME:

 frame(java.lang.String nameOrId)

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

Frame(WebElement frameElement)


Select a frame using its previously located webelement

Parameters: frameElement - The frame element to switch to.
DEFAULTCONTENT()

Selects either the first frame on the page, or the main document when a page contains iframes.



Below example explain you how to switch between frames.

=============================================================
package testng;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class Frames {
  
	public WebDriver driver;
  @BeforeClass
  public void beforeClass() {
	 
	  driver=new FirefoxDriver();
	  driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
	  
  }

  
  @Test
  public void testFrames() throws Exception {
	  driver.navigate().to("http://jqueryui.com/");
	  driver.findElement(By.linkText("Autocomplete")).click();
	 
	  //index
	 // driver.switchTo().frame(0);
	  //id or Name
	  //in this example Frame is not having ID or Name so this is invalid here 
	  //driver.switchTo().frame("nameorid");
	  //frameElement
	  driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.className("demo-frame")));
	  //type in text box..
	  driver.findElement(By.id("tags")).sendKeys("java");
	  
	  Thread.sleep(5000);
	  //switch back to default content
	  driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
	  driver.findElement(By.linkText("Accordion")).click();
	  Thread.sleep(5000);
  }
  
  @AfterClass
  public void afterClass() {
	  driver.quit();
  }
