Python Selenium Webdriver Issue - Unable to Find Frame

Question

I'm working on automating a process on a website which contains this HTML source code:

<frameset framespacing="0" border="false" frameborder="0" rows="95,*,23" id="TopFr" onload="javascript:ChkFr()">

Using the below code to switch to the frame throws up the no such frame exception:

driver.switch_to_frame("TopFr")

I've also tried using waits, but that doesn't fix the issue. Could it have to do with the "onload" attribute in the source code?

Thanks

As far as I know, switch_to_frame requires the frame name, not id

You could try driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_id("TopFr")) instead.
