Need to access elements inside a modal iframe.

Below code works perfectly fine for FireFox driver while fails for Chrome –

String frameId = null;
List<WebElement> frameSet = driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));  
for (WebElement frameName : frameSet){  
    if(!(frameName.getAttribute("id").isEmpty()) && (frameName.getAttribute("id").contains("DlgFrame"))){
            frameId = frameName.getAttribute("id");
        }
}

try {
    Thread.sleep(10000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    }

Logger.info("Switch to Frame - "+frameId);
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id(frameId)));

Does Chrome driver support switchTo.frame(<‘frameId’>)?

Error while using Chrome Driver –

    The issue was neither with chromeDriver nor selenium. Both were running on latest versions.

    chromeDriver – 23.0.1240.0

    Selenium – 2.25.0

    The issue was with Chrome Browser.

    My browser was running on ver. 12.0.742.112.
    Automatic updates were failing due to –

    update Server not available (error:7)

    I had to uninstall & install back the browser to get it to the latest ver. 21.0.1180.89 m.

    The issue is now fixed & I am able to switch between frames.
