I tried all possible combinations what ever I know but nothing helped me.. Here are the scripts which I tried

browser = webdriver.Firefox() # for b in
browser.find_element_by_id('emailFrame').find_elements_by_xp‌​ath(".//*"):
    print b # browser.find_element_by_xpath("html/body/div[1]/p[4]/a") #
    browser.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[text()='Click here']") # 
    browser.find_element_by_xpath[".//a[contains(., 'Click here')]"] # 
    browser.find_element_by_xpath(".//div[1]//p[4]/a") 
    browser.find_element_by_id('emailFrame').find_elements_by_ta‌​g_name("a"):

First, you should switch to the frame and then find the element inside it.

try as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.maximize_window()
browser.get("http://www.fakemailgenerator.com/inbox/armyspy.com/morly1985/")
frame = browser.find_element(By.ID, 'emailFrame')
browser.switch_to_frame(frame) # switch to frame by finding the iframe webelement
click_here = browser.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[text()='Click here']") # try different xpaths.
click_here.location_once_scrolled_into_view # As the element needs scroll down
click_here.click()

  • Already tried the scripts suggested by Naveen but didn't work. Identifies browser.switch_to_frame('emailFrame') but not browser.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[text()='Click here']") – Lalit Dec 15 '16 at 14:51
  • updated the code. try it out. how do you know switching to frame worked? what is the exception for finding `Click here` element? – Naveen Kumar R B Dec 15 '16 at 15:05
  • what is the exception? is it failing when finding the frame? or finding the element? trace is needed to further help you – Naveen Kumar R B Dec 16 '16 at 06:55
  • Hi Naveen, Sorry to say, I updated the code and tried but no luck The purpose is, it is basiccaly a link and clicking on the link (Click here) will open another window(/tab) Here is one page link (http://www.fakemailgenerator.com/inbox/armyspy.com/morly1985/) on I want to find the "Click here" link – Lalit Dec 16 '16 at 06:57
  • Able to find frame but not finding the element? – Lalit Dec 16 '16 at 07:00
  • please add the full code. I am confused about the flow as I don't see browser.get method. add the trace, I'll try find out what is the issue. – Naveen Kumar R B Dec 16 '16 at 07:03
