To understand how to deal with iframes and locate the elements inside an iframe, in this chapter, we will work on an example.
Example
main.html
<html> <head> <title>Testing using Watir</title> </head> <body> <iframe src = "test1.html" id = "myiframe" width = "500" height = "100"></iframe> </body> </html>test1.html
<html> <head> <title>Testing UI using Watir</title> </head> <body> <script type = "text/javascript"> function wsentered() { console.log("inside wsentered"); var firstname = document.getElementById("firstname"); if (firstname.value != "") { document.getElementById("displayfirstname").innerHTML = "The name entered is : " + firstname.value; document.getElementById("displayfirstname").style.display = ""; } } </script> <div id = "divfirstname"> Enter First Name : <input type = "text" id = "firstname" name = "firstname" onchange = "wsentered()" /> </div> <br/> <br/> <div style = "display:none;" id = "displayfirstname"></div> </body> </html>Output
