Selenium: Selecting Frames

<iframe width="100%" scrolling="yes" height="100%" frameborder="0" src="/detail.aspx=" name="displayIFrame"></iframe>
<html>
<head>
<frameset framespacing="1" onload="ScrollToAnchor('text', 'Docln', false); if (document.all) {var h = doccontext.document.all.docContextContentDiv.offsetHeight; document.body.rows = h + ',*,22';}" rows="95,*,22" >
    <frame scrolling="no" title="Heading frame" src="head.aspx" name="head"></frame>
    <frame scrolling="yes" title="Content frame" src="content.aspx" name="text"></frame>
    <frame scrolling="no" title="Footer frame" src="footer.aspx" name="footer"></frame>
</frameset>

I have something like:

                Selenium.SelectFrame("displayIFrame");
                Selenium.SelectFrame("head");
                Selenium.SelectFrame("text"); // I get "ERROR: Not a frame: text"

Why am I getting ERROR: Not a frame: text From the html code above, "text" is the name of the frame I'm trying to select. Seems like I'm doing everything right. Please help me out.

You could try selecting the top frame before selecting the others, like this:

Selenium.SelectFrame("relative=top");
Selenium.SelectFrame("head");
Selenium.SelectFrame("relative=top");
Selenium.SelectFrame("text");

According to the reference you can call this multiple times to select nested frames. However, "head" and "text" are not nested, but they are siblings. I think you can either select the "head" frame like this:

Selenium.SelectFrame("displayIFrame");
Selenium.SelectFrame("head");

or select the "text" frame like this:

Selenium.SelectFrame("displayIFrame");
Selenium.SelectFrame("text");

If you have to switch from "head" to "text" in your scenario try this:

Selenium.SelectFrame("displayIFrame");
Selenium.SelectFrame("head");

//do something

Selenium.SelectFrame("relative=parent");
Selenium.SelectFrame("text");

//do something
