Originally reported on Google Code with ID 4467

I am trying to click on iframe element and trying to send keys inside the iframe element.
The Code is executed successfully but on UI nothing occurs.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
List<WebElement> total_frames = driver.findElements(By.tagName(iframe));

for (WebElement options_frame : total_frames) {
String str_class = options_frame.getAttribute(firstAttrib);
String str_title = options_frame.getAttribute(second_Attrib);

    if (str_class == null)
    str_class = "";
    else if (str_class.equals(firstAttrib_value)) {
    if (str_title.equals(secondAttrib_value)) {
        options_frame.click();
    options_frame.sendKeys(textToSend);

firstattrib and second attrib specify the attribute name and firstattrib_value and
secondattrib_value specify the attribute value.
keystosend is the text you want to send.

Actual Result:-
Nothin happens on executing this code.

Expected result:-
USer should be able to type text inside iframe element and click also.



Selenium version:2.25.0
OS:Any
Browser:Safari
Browser version:5.1.7

Reproducible on MAc also.

Are you trying to type in a contentEditable frame (e.g. a richtext editor)?  Could you
provide a reduced test case (with HTML and CSS)?

Hi,

MY Browser HTML for the iframe part is following:-

<iframe class="abc" title="generic" style="height:100%;width:100%;">
<#document>
<html>
  <head></head>
    <body></body>
</html>
</iframe>

In this it doesnot contain contentEditable flag, i am able to click inside iframe element
as well as type inside the iframe element on Firefox, IS and Chrome but it doesnot
work on Safari and IPhone Driver.

It is hampering my Testing a lot, Please fix this issue on priority.

<iframe class="gwt-RichTextArea" title="generic" style="height:100%;width:100%;">
More precisely my iframe class contains the above mentioned gwt-RichTextArea

Sorry, but this is not possible with the SafariDriver.  All user actions are simulated
through JS.  With a richtext enabled document, the browser will not update the DOM
in response to a synthetic key event.

But it works fine on Chrome, IE and Firefox with their respective drivers. So, why is
it that it will not work with SafariDriver? Is this issue specific to Safari?

This limitation is specific to the SafariDriver's implementation.

Hi,

Can we expect this bug to be fixed in the coming release as it is must for our application
as for rich text editor it will always fail.

The severity and priority of this defect is very high or i should say it as SHOWSTOPPER.

Please fix this issue..as the impact of this bug is also on iPHONE Driver.

I closed this bug as NotFeasible because it cannot be fixed.   It is a technical limitation
for how the SafariDriver is implemented.  To work around it, we'd have to call out
to a NPAPI plugin to generate native events - but you can't load a NPAPI plugin from
an extension.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you will not be able to test richtext functionality
with the SafariDriver.
