Question

So with my lightbox recognized, how do I access what is inside of it?

When I type:

within("div.fancybox-wrap.fancybox-desktop.fancybox-type-iframe.fancybox-opened") do
    within(:xpath, "//table[@id='small_calendar'][0]") do
        page.find('td', :text => '5').click
    end
end

For

<table id="small_calendar">

I get…

Unable to find xpath "//table[@id='small_calendar'][0]" (Capybara::Element
NotFound)

Modified search….

sleep(10)
within("div.fancybox-wrap.fancybox-desktop.fancybox-type-iframe.fancybox-opened") do
    within_frame('fancybox-frame') do
        #within(:xpath, ".//table[@id='small_calendar'][0]") do
            page.find(:xpath, ".//table[@id='small_calendar'][0]/td[@text='5']").click
        #end
    end
end

gets me this bug…

  findElements execution failed;
   Element does not exist in cache (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::StaleElement
ReferenceError)

Got it!

The problem seems to be that within-frame and xpath do not get along. Once I removed it from the equation, I got the desired result.

within_frame('fancybox-frame') do
    #within(:xpath, ".//table[@id='small_calendar'][0]") do #chokes
    within(all("table[id='small_calendar']").first) do  #works!
         #page.find(:xpath, ".//table[@id='small_calendar'][0]/td[@text='5']").click #chokes
         page.find("td[id='2013_0_6']").click #works!
    end
end
