I am trying to access the HTML within two iframes using Selenium Basic in VBA, as IE has been blocked on our machines, and Python, etc. are not available to us.
Previously I could access the html with this:
Dim IE As InternetExplorerMedium
Set IE = New InternetExplorerMedium
' actual website excluded as it is a work hosted website which requires login, etc.
website = "..."
IE.navigate (website)
Dim IEDocument As HTMLDocument
Set IEDocument = IE.document.getElementById(id1).contentDocument.getElementById(id2).contentDocument
From there I would have access to all the HTML elements which I could work with.
Now I am trying the following with Selenium Basic:
Set cd = New Selenium.ChromeDriver
website = "..."
cd.Start baseUrl:=website
cd.Get "/"
Dim af1 As Selenium.WebElement, af2 As Selenium.WebElement
Set af1 = cd.FindElementById("CRMApplicationFrame")
Set af2 = af1.FindElementById("WorkAreaFrame1")
It works up to the last line, as it is able to set af to the "CRMApplicationFrame" id; however, I am unable to get inside of it.
I think the solution lies in executing a bit of JavaScript, similar to as in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phYGCGXGtEw
Although I don't have a #ShadowDOM line, I do have a #document line.
Based on and trying to adapt the video I have tried the following:
Set af2 = cd.ExecuteScript(Script:="return arguments[0].contentDocument", arguments:=af1 )
However, that did not work.
I also tested:
Dim af1 As Selenium.WebElement
Set af1 = cd.FindElementById("CRMApplicationFrame")
call cd.SwitchToFrame (af1)
Debug.Print cd.PageSource
However, the SwitchToFrame line won't execute, with a 438 error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Any advice or guidance on how I could succeed would be highly appreciated!
