note: a solution in either Selenium or API wrapper Splinter for Selenium is fine!
I have been having issues interacting with the iframes on Twitter.com using the Splinter API for Python.
For example,
with Browser('firefox', profile_preferences= proxySettings) as browser:
#...login and do other stuff here
browser.find_by_id('global-new-tweet-button').click()
this brings up a pop-up box to type in a tweet.
How do I interact with this new box using Splinter to: 1) fill in a message 2) click "tweet" (submit) ..programmatically of course.
I tried inspecting the element but it doesn't seem to be nested inside of an iframe however it targets an iframe. So I am not sure how to find/interact with the elements in this pop-up.
I tried manually typing in a message then clicking the tweet button programmatically:
browser.find_by_css('.btn.primary-btn.tweet-action.tweet-btn.js-tweet-btn').click()
..but I get the error:
ElementNotVisibleException: Message: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with

I strictly want to achieve my goal using Splinter so please do not offer alternatives, I know there are other ways. Thank you in advance!
