Click on iframe element using Python selenium

Question

How can I click the red button here from Host A (in this example jsfiddle.net) using selenium python? (javascript limitation policy error do not let me do it). Also I do not want to click directly Red Button. Thanks.

el =driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[2]/input")
webdriver.ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(el).click(el).perform()

iframe that keeps red button:

<iframe src="http://www.myhostb.blogfa.com/" width="500" height="300">
</iframe>

Important note: imaging that jsfiddle.net is Host A.

You need to use switch_to_frame()

driver.switch_to_frame("result")
driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("body>iframe"))
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input.ex2").click()

Once you're done in the iframe, you can switch back to the top frame using:

driver.switch_to_default_content()

@mohsensolhnia The example above should work with the HTML example you provided. As for the "same domain policy", I have no idea what that refers to, and I don't appreciate you yelling at me, particularly when I don't see "same domain policy" in your original question.

@BudiMulyo If you have a question, I would highly recommend that you create a new one, with code examples, the HTML you are trying to access, and the complete error message, in the Selenium tag. I would gladly take a look and see if I can help you with it.

@Richard thanks for reply, but it was solved using wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(chrome.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[@id='mainframe']")))
