Core Step followFrame

Description

Locates a frame by its name (e.g. <FRAME NAME='myFrame' SRC='myPage.jsp'>) and defines it as the "current" response for the next steps.

Parameters

description

Required? no

The description of this test step.

htmlId

Required? yes/no

The id of the frame to select. One of 'name' or 'htmlid' must be set.

name

Required? yes/no

The name of the frame to follow, specified in the frameset. For nested frames use the name of the frame your are after, e.g. it may be the name in the nested frameset. NOTE: if nested frames bear the same name (e.g. foo inside foo), it is not specified which of the frames will be selected. It is possible to select the top window using the special name '_top'. One of 'name' or 'htmlid' must be set.

relative

Required? no, default is false

Indicates that the frame with the given name should be searched in the current response (rather than in the top window). In the case of nested frames this allows you to follow a first frame, perform some actions and later to follow the nested frame.

save

Required? no

A shorthand: save='prefixName' is the same as savePrefix='prefixName' saveResponse='true'.

savePrefix

Required? no, default is the 'savePrefix' parameter as specified in <config>.

A name prefix can be specified for making a permanent copy of received responses. A unique number and the file extension (depending on the MIME-Type) will be appended. The resultpath attribute of the <config> element is used for determining the location of the saved result.

saveResponse

Required? no

Whether to make a permanent copy of received responses. Overrides the default value set in the <config> element.

Inline Text

The inline text is all the text between the start tag ( <followFrame> ) and the end tag ( </followFrame> ), including blanks, tabs or newlines. Using a pair of start/end tags ( <followFrame> </followFrame> ) has not the same behavior than the seemingly equivalent empty element tag ( <followFrame/> ).

Required? no

Alternative way to set the 'name' attribute.
