I'm relatively new to selenium automation, and am trying to test a form that has been created for me. I'd like to put test values into a textbox whose HTML code looks like:

<input type="text" id="txtEndCustId" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event);" class="Text" required="" onfocus="txtEndCustIdFocus('Your customer END CUSTOMER DEP ID');" onblur="txtEndCustIdblur();">

I thought I'd use the "id" of the box, but the code:

Dim options As New Chrome.ChromeOptions

Dim service As ChromeDriverService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService



Dim wd As New Chrome.ChromeDriver(service, options)



wd.Navigate.GoToUrl("x")

wd.FindElementById("txtEndCustId").SendKeys("1")

Gives an error:

Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"txtEndCustId"}

To be perfectly honest I've no idea where I went wrong here - thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any "List All Element ids" function, so that I can marry them up with what's shown in the chrome inspector view?

Since your element is inside a frame, you need to navigate the driver to the frame first, a frame has it's own Document containing x number of DOM elements.

First switch to the frame:

//You need to use method switchTo() to set the driver to the frame document

//In this case we are passing in the id of the iframe

wd.switchTo().frame("ctl00_CPH_iframeCat");



//Now that the driver is working on the frame document, you should be able to manipulate the

//input you want

wd.FindElementById("txtEndCustId").SendKeys("1")



//Finally, switch the driver back to the main page document (original document which contains the frames)

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Here is a good piece of documentation which should explain this in more detail:
