I have a webpage with an iframe. I'd like to access the contents of the iframe using CasperJS. In particular, I need to click buttons and fill a form. How can I do that?
The main webpage is
main.html:
<html><body>
<a id='main-a' href="javascript:console.log('pressed main-a');">main-a</a>
<iframe src="iframe.html"></iframe>
<a id='main-b' href="javascript:console.log('pressed main-b');">main-b</a>
</body></html>
The iframe is:
<html><body>
<a id='iframe-c' href="javascript:console.log('pressed iframe-c');">iframe-c</a>
</body></html>
My na?ve approach:
var casper = require('casper').create({
verbose: true,
logLevel: "debug"
});
casper.start("http://jim.sh/~jim/tmp/casper/main.html", function() {
this.click('a#main-a');
this.click('a#main-b');
this.click('a#iframe-c');
});
casper.run(function() {
this.exit();
});
Doesn't work, of course, because the a#iframe-c selector isn't valid in the main frame:

Is there any way to make this work? A hack that involves poking into phantomjs directly would be fine, but I don't know what to do there.
I'm using CasperJS version 1.0.0-RC1 and phantomjs version 1.6.0.
