Webdriver code

Thread.sleep(1000); 
driver.switchTo().frame(0); 
Thread.sleep(500); 
driver.findElement(By.id("button_facebook")).click();

here is my code driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='contentagent']/div[2]/ul/li[2]/a")).click(); Thread.sleep(1000); driver.switchTo().frame(0); Thread.sleep(500); driver.findElement(By.id("button_facebook")).click(); — Venkata Srinuvasareddy, Mar 17 '17 at 09:37

@Dev i have updated html code with DOM, and i want to click on any one of these buttons like Facebook, Google or Linkedin which you can see in the image — Venkata Srinuvasareddy, Mar 17 '17 at 10:38

Here is what you need to do:

Get the parent window handle.
Click on the Link.
Get all the Window Handles.(To confirm its a frame/iframe)
Switch to your frame.
Click on the element.
Go back to parent window.

Your probable code may look like:

/First Get parent window,means current window handle
    String parentWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
    System.out.println("Parent Window Title "+driver.getTitle());
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='contentagent']/div[2]/‌ul/li[2]/a")).click();
    //Frame Handling begins here
    //Get All Tabs or Window handles and iterate using for each loop
    for(String handle:driver.getWindowHandles()) 
    {
        System.out.println(handle);
        driver.switchTo().window(handle);
     }

    //switch to frame using frame name
    driver.switchTo().frame("your_frame_name"); // replace by your frame name
    String childtFrame = driver.getWindowHandle();
    System.out.println("Child Frame Title "+driver.getTitle());
    driver.findElement(By.id("button_facebook")).click();
    //Go back to Parent window
    driver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);

Let me know if this helps you.

i used above code, my test is passed but did not perform click operation on the facebook button – Venkata Srinuvasareddy Mar 17 '17 at 12:46
given frame as driver.switchTo().frame(0); – Venkata Srinuvasareddy Mar 17 '17 at 12:47
@VenkataSrinuvasareddy instead of "0" provide the "actual_frame_name". To get the frame name, when the frame opens inspect the frame in the body section. You will find the frame name. – undetected Selenium Mar 17 '17 at 12:50
did not perform click operation after pass the frame name also very difficulty – Venkata Srinuvasareddy Mar 17 '17 at 13:15
I have modified the code, paste me the output here. – undetected Selenium Mar 17 '17 at 13:24

please view above output – Venkata Srinuvasareddy Mar 17 '17 at 14:12
