| Quick explanation of the problem: | |
| This works fine: | |
| open(...) | |
| selectFrame(...) | |
| click(css=#anchor) | |
| This does not: | |
| open(...) | |
| selectFrame(...) | |
| click(xpath=//a[@id="anchor"]) | |
| This gist is a reduced test case involving three pages: | |
| iframe-index.html | |
| iframe.html | |
| success.html | |
| We also include demo.pl to issue commands to Selenium RC. |
