    Hi Swapna,


     


    There are some restrictions with testing web pages in Safari. Here they are.


    Could you please check whether you are OK with them?

    Hi Tanya,


        I have observed that frame  objects idnetification in safari is working in some of sites and not working in some other sites(our company sites).I thought that first level of frames only identified by safari and the next levels of child objects of frames are not identified. i have provided screen shots below can you please check once.


    is there any changes to do in testcomplete10.10 or any plugins are needed?please help me....

    Hi,



    There is a problem with Chrome that looks like yours and is described in the "Specifics of Web Testing in Google Chrome" help article:

    ====================

    With the default security settings Chrome follows the same-origin policy and does not allow cross-origin interaction. Because of this, TestComplete cannot access the contents of cross-origin framesets (when a host of an HTML frame differs from the host of the parent page). To test the contents of such framesets, you need to open the contained frame as a separate web page or launch the Chrome application with the --disable-web-security command-line switch.


    The same-origin policy also applies to framesets displaying local files. By default the local files are considered to belong to different origins and not allowed to access one from another. To solve the latter issue, you can launch the Chrome application with the --allow-file-access-from-files command-line switch.

    ====================



    Might this be your case? (Hovewer, I am not aware about Safari command line, so the suggested Chrome workaround most probably will not work. Maybe Safari has some similar setting that can be set via UI... I don't know.)

    Then what will be the final solution for this ? Doesn't Safari handle any cross origin framesets?Is there any command Line Switches for Safari Like in Chrome ?Can You Please Suggest me if any.. or else  will it  fix on next versions of testcomplete?
