How to access the nested html which is within a frame through Selenium

Question

I have a website where a html tag is nested inside like below. Questions:

How to search for element in frameBody using selenium?
How to wait for element in frameBody successful loaded?

Please help. Thanks. Please get the application source code from this link.

I tried with this driver.switchTo().frame("frameBody"); but it causes No frame element found by name or id frameBody. — nicholas, Aug 13 '18 at 05:44

The <frame> with id = frameBody is nested in another <iframe>, you need to switch to it first

WebElement iframe = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#tabFrames > iframe:nth-child(1)"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);
driver.switchTo().frame("frameBody");

Please see my screenshot of code. Can you pin point me the exact structure? – nicholas Aug 13 '18 at 06:55
@peterwkc The structure is very clear, you can see it by the indentations. You can also open and close sections in the developer tools to see it. – Guy Aug 13 '18 at 06:58
It throws NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: tabFrames > iframe:nth-child(2) – nicholas Aug 13 '18 at 07:11
@peterwkc It should be `driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#tabFrames > iframe:nth-child(1)"));` – Guy Aug 13 '18 at 07:12
I"m using xpath and it works. – nicholas Aug 13 '18 at 07:34
