Working with Selenium, clicking on JS as href link

I was hoping for maybe some clarification or suggestions on how to get selenium working with hyperlink. I have tried selecting it by pretty much every element possible. I have also attached a image with the source to look at and compare...
Example of html:
<div class="x-grid3-cell-inner x-grid3-col-ACTION_COLUMN" id="5005a00001rJ22q_ACTION_COLUMN"><span>Edit</span> | </div>
Examples:
#clicky = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[contains(#href,"javascript:srcUp(%27%2F5005a00001pKfzm%3Fisdtp%3Dvw%27);")]').click()
#clicky = driver.find_elements_by_partial_link_text('javascript:srcUp(%27%2F5005a00001pKfzm%3Fisdtp%3Dvw%27);').click()
#clicky = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#href='javascript:srcUp(%27%2F5005a00001pKfzm%3Fisdtp%3Dvw%27);']").click()

Try this:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[.//a[contains(#class,'chatterFollowUnfollowAction')]]//a[contains(#href,'javascript:srcUp')]").click()
In order to add an explicit wait before accessing this element use this:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[.//a[contains(#class,'chatterFollowUnfollowAction')]]//a[contains(#href,'javascript:srcUp')]"))).click()

Try this:
someElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(#class, 'chatterFollowUnfollowAction' and #title,'Follow this case')]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();",someElement)

How to get Selenium to recognise a button and click it?

How would I get selenium python to recognise this button in HTML?
I've tried this and other tags to get it
driver.find_element_by_class_name('cookie-monster').clickbutton
print('button was clicked')
This is the button snippet code
<button class="cookie-monster__cta cookie-monster__cta--primary js-cookie-monster-accept">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span>
Accept All Cookies
</button>

Your locator is wrong. The class is named cookie-monster__cta, not .cookie-monster. js-cookie-monster-accept seems to be unique class name. Use it for finding your element.
Also, you should wait for elements before clicking them.
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(
(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "js-cookie-monster-accept")))
button = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("js-cookie-monster-accept")
button.click()
If this locator is not unique, add classes one by one to both wait and find_element_by_css_selector, like this:
.js-cookie-monster-accept.cookie-monster__cta

How to select a textbox using selenium in python

HTMLI want to select a textbox using XPath or any other locator, but I am unable to do so. The code is working fine for one part of the page, while it is not working using any locator for the other half of the page. I am not sure if my code is wrong or if something else is the problem.
I have attached the HTML part.
Here is my code:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('Website')
driver.implicitly_wait(50)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="j_username"]').send_keys("Username")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="j_password"]').send_keys("Password")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="b_submit"]').click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="15301"]/div[1]/a/span').click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="22261"]/a').click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="22323"]/a').click()
driver.implicitly_wait(50)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="filterRow"]').clear()
The last line is where I am getting the following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="filterRow"]"}

Page may have not finished rendering when you try to find the element. So it will give NoSuchElementException
Try the following method
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="filterRow"]')
if len(elem) > 0
elem[0].clear()
Hope this will help you

You can wait till the elements loads using wait -
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
Filter_Row = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="filterRow"]')))
Filter_Row.clear()
Try the above code and see what happens.

Try below solution
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//*[#id='filterRow']"))).clear()
Note: add below imports to your solution :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

As in one of comments, you mentioned upon clicking tab a new page is opening. Can you please check if its opening in a new frame. Is so please switch to frame first where your element is using below statement:
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_name(name))
To navigate back to original frame you can use:
driver.switch_to.default_content()

using 'find_element_by_css_selector'
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input")

To click on "X" button which is defined by span tag using selenium python

To click on "X" button which is defined by span tag using selenium python.
The "X" is defined by span and it is not getting clicked.
<span class="popup_cancel hide_poup"/>
I tried below which is not working
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='popup_cancel hide_poup']").click()
Please guide me how to make this work!!

Try below solution
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, "popup_cancel hide_poup"))).click()
or
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='popup_cancel hide_poup']"))).click()
Note : please add below imports to your solution
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

Element Exception

I am trying to execute this code and it shows 'NoSuchElementException' this error.
So can anyone help me for this ?
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver= webdriver.Chrome()
page=driver.get("http://www.awgp.org")
banner_tell=driver.find_element_by_Link_text('Tell Me More')
banner_tell.click()

I think all you need to do is give link text in uppercase but this link is dynamic as the banner auto-slides to the next one.
You should come up with another locator to click on exactly the locator you want to click. Otherwise you might get ElementNotVisibleException if the banner is changed.
banner_tell=driver.find_element_by_link_text('TELL ME MORE')

try with xpath
banner_tell= driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(),'TELL ME MORE')]")

Seems you were almost near however the function() should have been :
find_element_by_link_text()
To click on the button with text as TELL ME MORE you have to induce WebDriverWait with expected_conditions clause element_to_be_clickable as follows :
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "TELL ME MORE"))).click()
