Ok, I have an iframe with 3 tabs. On each of these tabs there is an element with the same ID, class but different value. How am I supposed to locate each of them separately?

Possibly with xpath or css. Provide the `html` of all three if possible – Saifur May 27 '15 at 15:02

1It is worth considering: same `id` on one page, is generally considered a bug. – SiKing May 27 '15 at 15:16

You should consider change the HTML to avoid duplication of ids according to the HTML specification. – segalaj May 27 '15 at 15:42

Perhaps this is not his own page. – Stéphane Bruckert May 27 '15 at 15:44

I know, I'll suggest this change to the our developer. – nvldk May 27 '15 at 20:51

First, make sure you know how to deal with iframes with Selenium and that it isn't a first blocker for you.
Then to answer your question, you can either:
use an xpath selector:
*[@id="tabid"][1]will select the first element with the idtabid.*[@id="tabid"][2]will select the second element with the idtabid.- etc.
use a CSS selector:
#tabid:nth-child(1)#tabid:nth-child(2)- etc.

To be more specific Tab1 has a button1 (id=submit, value=xx) Tab 2 has a button2 (id=submit, value=xy),..how do I locate for example: button 2? – nvldk May 27 '15 at 15:28
-
`//*[@id="tabid"][2]/button[@id='submit']` or directly `//*button[@id='submit'][2]`. – Stéphane Bruckert May 27 '15 at 15:47

I tried: driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*input[@id='submit'][2]").click() but I`m getting syntax error – nvldk May 27 '15 at 16:00

You have to [switch to the iframe](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10879206/how-to-switch-between-frames-in-selenium-webdriver-using-java) first, did you do that? Can you access the iframe content? – Stéphane Bruckert May 28 '15 at 09:59
