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

This code is in groovy  so most likely you will need to do some rework   The first param is a url  the second is a counter to limit the tries   public boolean selectWindow window  maxTries        def handles     int tries   0     while  true            try               handles   driver getWindowHandles   toArray               for  int a   handles size   - 1  a  gt   0   a--       Backwards is faster with FF since it requires two windows                 try                       Log logger info  Attempting to select window      window                      driver switchTo   window handles a                        if  driver getCurrentUrl   equals window                           return true                      else                           Thread sleep 2000                          tries                                             if  tries  gt  maxTries                            Log logger warn  Cannot select page                           return false                                         catch  Exception ex                        Thread sleep 2000                      tries                                             catch  Exception ex2                Thread sleep 2000              tries                       return false

First you have to locate the frame id and define it in a WebElement  For ex - WebElement fr   driver findElementById  id     Then switch to the frame using this code - driver switchTo   frame  Frame ID     An example script -   WebElement fr   driver findElementById  theIframe     driver switchTo   frame fr    Then to move out of frame use - driver switchTo   defaultContent
