Selenium select window does not work if new window is opened from link/button inside the iframe

Question

My Dom structure is like

 <iframe id="frame1">
       <input type="button" onclick="openModalPopup"></input>
   </iframe>

When I cick on this button inside the iframe, selenium opens the modalpopup , but it is not able to move the control there?

Can anybody help please?

Answer 1

Switch to the default frame( remove focus from the current frame), and then try to move your control to the popup. That should work.

Answer 2

http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0.1/reference.html. Search for iframe in the reference. You would need to selectFrame..Only then you can interact with it.
