Retrieves information about a particular frame. A frame may be the top-level frame in a tab or a nested iframe, and is uniquely identified by a tab ID and a frame ID.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
Syntax
var gettingFrame = browser.webNavigation.getFrame( details // object )
Parameters
details
object
. Information about the frame to retrieve information about.-
tabId
integer
. The ID of the tab in which the frame is.processId
integer
. The ID of the process running the renderer for this tab.frameId
integer
. The ID of the frame in the given tab.
Return value
A Promise
that will be fulfilled with an object containing the following properties:
errorOccurred
boolean
. True if the last navigation in this frame was interrupted by an error, i.e. theonErrorOccurred
event fired.url
string
. The URL currently associated with this frame, if the frame identified byframeId
existed at one point in the tab identified bytabId
. The fact that an URL is associated with a givenframeId
does not imply that the corresponding frame still exists.parentFrameId
integer
. ID of this frame's parent. This is -1 if there is no parent frame: that is, if this frame is the top-level browsing context in the tab.
If the specified tab or frame ID could not be found, or some other error occurs, the promise will be rejected with an error message.
