Okay, this actually resolves the problem, Yes as you say, it's inside the
frame and when I use as shown below
iframe1 = browser.iframe(id: 'iframe1')
iframe1.element(id: 'element_inside_frame').click
it works, But another problem arises in the case of alert, I don't know how
to handle alert now.
If I write
iframe1.alert.ok
It simply throws the error by saying 'alert' function is not found for
iframe1. Can you tell me how to handle the alert when alert appears inside
the frame?
