How to find elements within a form with selenium vba

[nando88]

I need to find a nested element within a form, but I always get an error saying element not found.

This is part of the html code and the element I need to find is <input id="_paramsP1_FROM_DATE".
Please help me by providing some code that I can use to find this element in the html code.

Thanks in advance.

Presumably you've tried:

    Dim elem As WebElement
    Set elem = driver.FindElementById("_paramsP1_FROM_DATE")

Are there any frames/iframes involved? If so, you'll need to switch to the correct frame first:

    driver.SwitchToFrame driver.FindElementsByTag("iframe")(1)  '1st iframe

Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't work since it is inside a form control and not an iframe.
Maybe you know a way for me to find an input control by id, since I already tried looking for the input control, but I wasn't able to find it.
Thanks in advance.

I placed a picture of the html code in the original message, please refer to that picture in order to give your answer.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the input element is inside a form element, but is the form inside an iframe?

That's not the entire HTML though. Look for an iframe tag as the parent of the form.
