Unable to switch back to default frame

I am working on the following scenario.

I click on an element in the main web page and it opens a dialog box. It is an iframe and i use diver.switchTo().frame(1); to access that frame. I am able to perform the required activites in that frame. Clicking on OK button in that frame will close it. Once the frame is closed i am not able to access any of the elements in the main page. I used the following to switch back to main page driver.switchTo().defaultContent()and driver.switchTo().frame(0). But none of them let me get back to the main page.

Since the frame gets closed i also tried without any switchTo() statements. But it didnt work either.

Please help me with other possible solutions for it. Thanks in advance!

As you are trying to switch back to the Top-Level Browsing Context your following code trial should have worked :

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

As an alternative you can also try :

driver.switchTo().parentFrame();

Sometimes it may happen that the driver looses the window focus and in that case you have to regain the focus on the browser by :

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.focus();");

You need to switch back to the original window (Java code)

String windowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle(); // save the original window handle

// handle the pop up

driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
