Unable to locate a selenium-recognized element within this field

I've attempted to use FindElementByName but I keep getting a no such element error when it should recognize this name. What am I overlooking? This issue is occurring on the website Intacct.com. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to find a unique CSS selector or a valid relative XPath using ChroPath. Is there an alternative method I can use to interact with this field?

<input id="filter" class="filter" type="text" name="F_RECORDID" value="" onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) c('.rb','0');" ctype="text">

Sub newCSS()
    Dim bot As New Selenium.WebDriver

    bot.Start "Chrome", "https://www.intacct.com/ia/acct/login.phtml?_ga=2.13247287.1007588550.1536894830-1229002215.1536894830"
    bot.get "/"
    bot.FindElementByXPath("//span[@class='iamenutitle'][contains(text(),'Accounts Payable')]").Click
    bot.FindElementByCss("[menuitemrefno='126']").Click
    bot.SwitchToFrame .FindElementById("iamain")

Answer №1

For a quicker way to switch to an iframe and locate the element, consider using its unique id within the page. This method is generally faster across different browsers. Alternatively, you can use a CSS selector method which tends to be more efficient than FindElementByName, especially in modern versions of IE optimized for CSS. For more details on selector speeds, check out my response here. You can also navigate to iframes by their index.

Option Explicit
Public Sub test()
    Dim driver As New ChromeDriver, ele As Object
    Const URL = "URL"
    With d
        .Start "Chrome"
        .get URL
        'Other steps
        .SwitchToFrame "iamain"
        Set ele = .FindElementById("filter").SendKeys "123"  '.FindElementByCss("[name='F_RECORDID']").SendKeys "123" 
        'OTHER CODE
        .Quit
    End With
End Sub
