IFrame problem

[muhmuuh]

Hello, fellow AutoIters!

I'm trying to access a site with AutoIt but I'm facing a very strange problem with an IFrame element. The site has only 1 IFrame element and most of the content is in it. The element doesn't have id or name, only src. First it was really hard to access the IFrame itself. The snipped from the help

$oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumFrames = @extended
If $iNumFrames > 0 Then
    If _IEIsFrameSet ($oIE) Then
        MsgBox(0, "Frame Info", "Page contains " & $iNumFrames & " frames in a FrameSet")
    Else
        MsgBox(0, "Frame Info", "Page contains " & $iNumFrames & " iFrames")
    EndIf
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Frame Info", "Page contains no frames")
EndIf

says that there is one IFrame object, but when I try to get by

$frame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 0) 
MsgBox(0, "src", $frame.src)

I get an error on $frame.src "The requested action with this object has failed"

All tries with _IEFrameGetCollection have failed.

I finally found a way to access the frame - $frames=_IETagNameGetCollection($ie, "iframe")

After that I do For $frame in $frames

but from this point I cannot access any other element in the frame. With _IEGetObjById I get $_IEStatus_NoMatch. _IETagNameAllGetCollection says there are 0 elements. I even tried _IEFormElementRadioSelect($frame, "1", "option_id") to click on some radio button on the site but I get $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance

muhmuh,

Please post the HTML for the website you are trying to access.

You are most certainly having a cross-domain scripting problem. If you use _IEErrorHandlerRegister() you'll see "Access Is Denied" errors. You can access the iFrame as a tag, but not as a document container (window) as a result.

The typical way of dealing with this is to open the iFrame URL in a new browser window (you can get the url with $oFrame.src once you have $oFrame as a reference to the iFrame tag).
