Working with iframes is approached differently in selenium & Watir.
In Selenium you are responsible for explicitly switching into and out of
the context you want:
driver.switch_to.frame('iframe1')
driver.find_element(id: 'element_inside_frame').click
driver.switch_to.default_content
driver.find_element(id: 'element_outside_frame').click
Watir handles this for you:
browser.iframe(id: 'iframe1').element(id: 'element_inside_frame').click
browser.element(id: 'element_outside_frame').click
The tradeoff for this behavior is that you have to include the iframe
definition as part of every element signature inside the iframe.
For convenience, feel free to:
iframe1 = browser.iframe(id: 'iframe1')
iframe1.element(id: 'element_inside_frame').click
iframe1.element(id: 'also_inside_frame').click
You could have elements with the same id in multiple different
frames/browsing contexts. Watir requires you to explicitly specify which
one you want.
