Testing an iframe with Selenium puts the iframe into infinite loading while manual check for the same iframe goes fine.

Question

I am testing an iframe within a page. When I run my ruby script with selenium-rc, the page loads up fine but the iframe goes into an infinite loading causing my script to time-out. Though on manually checking the same script, we get the expected result. Any idea if selenium does something with the browser settings?? I have tried it with FF and IE, both.

Answer 1

what do you mean by infinite loop? Also are you having selenium interact with the IFrame, or just visit a page with an iframe on it? One idea would be to create a super simple html page, and put an iframe to google.com in it, and see if this problem still persists.
