Tool to find xpath and iframe id

I'm automating a web page which contains several nested iframes. This makes it hard for me to find the proper locator for the elements. I use firebug, the f12 tools ... to get xpath etc. but I miss something here, the iframe id. Does someone know a tool where I can point on an element on the web page, and get the xpath and the iframe id?

THX

Solution

  • Firebug displays the iframes containing the inspected element within its ancestor path:

    Ancestor path within *HTML* panel

    By clicking on the buttons within the ancestor path you can jump to the related iframe.

    To get the XPath for an iframe right-click on it within the HTML panel and choose Copy Minimal XPath or Copy XPath from the context menu.
