@mmuthupa You’ll need to provide a full repro case that includes a set of HTML files (or a public URL) against which to test. Locating elements in a frame via WebDriver is not broken for all IE users against all websites (see the WebDriver Herald website for a list of tests the IE driver is executed against and passing). If you’re using contentDocument to access the document in IE, remember that IE sandboxes frames pretty thoroughly, even moreso if the main and framed documents are from different domains. Also, if you’ve not configured IE’s Protected Mode settings properly for use with WebDriver, that is unlikely to work either.

@jimevans i should not share the companys website html page according to the rule, but what i understand from our development team is that the pages loaded under iframes are having CSRF Tokens(Cross Site Request Forgery Token) through AJAX. According to your suggestion enabled all the zones protected mode settings and tried disableing of all the security zones protected mode settings even though facing the same issue. Kindly suggest any solution.

Hi Team,

Any update on the above issue, application is protected with CSRF token, might be that could be the reason the selenium unable to access it? Kindly give any suggestion - how to crack it please. Also i don't know how to remove the label in the issue(6082 - R - awaiting answer)so kindly check and update the issue please

@mmuthupa No, there has been no update on the issue. Until and unless a reproduction case is provided that would allow the IE driver development team to investigate the issue, there can be no further updates. Please note that the repro does not have to be on the exact site that you’re testing against; a different demonstration site that behaves the same way would also be perfectly acceptible. Until someone is willing to provide such a sample site with sample code that clearly reproduces the issue, there is no action that can be taken on this issue as written.

Closing the issue as there is no reproduction scenario provided.
