To find hidden UI elements in an iframe, you can use the following steps:

  1. Inspect the iframe: Right-click on the iframe and select "Inspect" or press F12 to open the browser's developer tools and navigate to the "Elements" tab.
  2. Select the iframe: In the developer tools, find the iframe element in the HTML code and select it.
  3. Check for hidden elements: Look for hidden UI elements within the iframe by inspecting the CSS styles applied to the elements. Hidden elements are often styled with properties like "display: none" or "visibility: hidden".
  4. Modify CSS properties: You can temporarily change the CSS properties of the hidden elements to make them visible. For example, you can change "display: none" to "display: block" or "visibility: hidden" to "visibility: visible".
  5. Test the changes: After modifying the CSS properties, check to see if the hidden UI elements are now visible and accessible within the iframe.


It's important to note that modifying CSS properties may impact the functionality and layout of the webpage, so it's recommended to revert any changes once you have identified the hidden UI elements.
