Whenever I look for an element in a page, even if it exists, it is still coming up as nonexistent

Question:

So I just started coding with Selenium and I made this program that goes onto the website JKLM.fun and it plays the game. Lately, I’ve been trying to type in the chat but I keep getting this error:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element

This is the code I am running:

chat = Driver.find_element(by=By.TAG_NAME, value="textarea")

And this is what I am trying to access:

enter image description here

And before you say to use XPATH or CSS selector or access the DIV above, none of those worked. If you need all my code I’ll just put it below this. Can someone please please help me? I have been stuck on this forever!

Answers:

I figured it out. All you have to do is switch to parent frame before accessing chatbox. That is where it is located. It isn’t located in the iframe.

Driver.switch_to.parent_frame() #check for commands

And you’re good to go! (Don’t forget to switch back to Iframe when done accessing chatbox)
