Not able to enter text in rich text editor which is a iframe object.

I am not able to enter text in rich text editor. It is an iframe object. When I enter text manually in an editor and do object spy then a child of frame get added named TextNode(0).

 

Content Text area source code is :

<!DOCTYPE><html><head xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="" /><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="" /></head><body id="tinymce" class="mceContentBody " onload="window.parent.tinyMCE.get('freeTextEditorquestion4').onLoad.dispatch();"><br></body></html>Editor.PNG

Can you please suggest how can I insert text in the above text box using vbscript in TestComplete?

    Hi Tanya,

    Thanks for the reply. I am using IE8. I tried click() and then keys("abc") on frame object and it worked. Is this correct approach or its just workaround?

    Hi Kanika,

     

    What browser are you using?

    Some browsers block the access to contents of cross-origin framesets (when a host of an HTML frame differs from the host of the parent page). Please check if this is the case.

    For more information, please read the "Considerations for Web Testing" ( http://smartbear.com/viewarticle/55654/ ) help topic.

        Hi,

         

        It sounds ok. Perhaps, the editor requires activating before typing inside it. When you click over it, it’s become activated.
