    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.
