How to take elements by Selenium which created by JS script

I trying automating testing with Selenium (python bindings), specifically want to log in on tokmonet.zendesk.com.
I create a script which takes email field, password field and sign in button by id.
But when I ran script it fails with

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"user_email"}

Inspecting page with Firebug I see these elements. But when trying to get them with Firefinder it couldn't. So, I perform 

html_source = driver.page_source  
print(html_source)

and get the only 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head></head><body></body></html>

When I check page source it contains only js scripts and no mark up.

Please advice how I could handle this elements?

Solution

  • You need to switch to the IFRAME, then send_keys() to the element which you can find by ID. Don't forget to switch back to the default content if you need to access elements outside the IFRAME.

    driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_tag_name("iframe"))
driver.find_element_by_id("user_email").send_keys("username")
driver.find_element_by_id("user_password").send_keys("password")
// do whatever else
driver.switch_to.default_content()
