Can't click element inside iframe

On the screenhsot below is HTML-code of iframe.

The first two red marked object can be identified by Webdriver however the last marked (which is a button) can't be clicked by Webdriver. I have tried click it using different ways (like click by id, name, etc). But I still can't click the submit button.

Please help me to click that submit button inside the frame. enter image description here

Same issue happened to me today. It might be simply due to you not switching to the frame, or it could be something I experienced.

This happened to me in IE only. In Chrome there is no problem at all.

Actual Code

As you can see, I did switch to the frame to make sure this element could be found. But, it could not be. The only solution that I found was to put Thread.Sleep(2000) to make it pass. I am not quite sure why, but I guess it has something to do with the content not being available in the DOM.

You need to use switchTo().frame() to access content within a frame or iframe.

driver.switchTo().frame("name");  // where name is the name of the iframe i.e. name="frameName", you would use framename
driver.switchTo().frame(0);       // You can switch to the frame by index
driver.switchTo().frame(element); // You can switch to the frame by a WebElement reference

In your particular case you can use:

driver.switchTo().frame("InstantSgn");

To switch out of the frame after you're done within the iframe context:

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
