I would like to select this checkbox using selenium
<input type="checkbox" name="rg" onchange="onCheckReg(this)" id="beauty_perfume_screening__c" value="beauty_perfume_screening__c" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="check-button-Beauty Perfume Screening check-group-header">
I tried finding by xpath an by id but always get the error unable to locate element
wd.find_element_by_id("beauty_perfume_screening__c").click()
Any Ideas?
Use xpath
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#name='rg']").click()
and recommended is to use one of the wait methods -
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located(By.XPATH, "//input[#name='rg']")
For selecting iframe -
root1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe")
driver.switch_to.frame(root1)
To click on the element with text as save you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using id:
wd.find_element_by_id("beauty_perfume_screening__c").click()
Using css_selector:
wd.find_element_by_css_selector("input#beauty_perfume_screening__c[name='rg'][value='beauty_perfume_screening__c']").click()
Using xpath:
wd.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#id='beauty_perfume_screening__c' and #name='rg'][#value='beauty_perfume_screening__c']").click()
Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using ID:
WebDriverWait(wd, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "beauty_perfume_screening__c"))).click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(wd, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#beauty_perfume_screening__c[name='rg'][value='beauty_perfume_screening__c']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(wd, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#id='beauty_perfume_screening__c' and #name='rg'][#value='beauty_perfume_screening__c']"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
Important: Incase the element is within an <iframe> you have to switch to the <iframe> first.

I'm using this code but the can't get it to work with the xpath:
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)
browser.get("https://planetradio.co.uk/cool-fm")
time.sleep(5)
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="notice"]/div[4]/button[2]').click()
The element ACCEPT ALL is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get('https://planetradio.co.uk/cool-fm/')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[title='SP Consent Message']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[title='ACCEPT ALL']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
driver.get('https://planetradio.co.uk/cool-fm/')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#title='SP Consent Message']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#title='ACCEPT ALL']"))).click()
Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

The element to be clicked based ONLY on the text it contains (others):
<a class="blah" href="/some_page/"><span>15</span> others</a>
The item that fails:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(text(), ' others')]").click()
The error:
NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[contains(text(), 'others')]"}
An additional alternative from DebanjanB's answer using a different xpath inspired from XPath contains(text(),'some string') doesn't work when used with node with more than one Text subnode
"//*[text()[contains(.,' others')]]"
To locate the clickable element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.blah[href='/some_page/'] > span"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#class='blah' and #href='/some_page/'][contains(., 'others')]"))).click()

I am writing a script to automate data collection and was having trouble clicking a link. The website is behind a login, but I navigated that successfully. I ran into problems when trying to navigate to the download page. This is in python using chrome webdriver.
I have tried using:
find_element_by_partial_link_text('stuff').click()
find_element_by_xpath('stuff').click()
#and a few others
I get iterations of following message when I try a few of the selector statements.
NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"partial link text","selector":"download"}
(Session info: chrome=88.0.4324.182)
Html source I'm trying to use is:
<a routerlink="/download" title="Download" href="/itron-mvweb/download"><i class="fa fa-lg fa-fw fa-download"></i><span class="menu-item-parent">Download</span></a>
Thank you!
This is caused by a typo. Download is case-sensitive, make sure you capitalize the D!
To click on the element with text as Download you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector:
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[title='Download'][href='/itron-mvweb/download'] span.menu-item-parent").click()
Using xpath:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[#title='Download' and #href='/itron-mvweb/download']//span[#class='menu-item-parent' and text()='Download']").click()
Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[title='Download'][href='/itron-mvweb/download'] span.menu-item-parent"))).click()

I am trying to click on the ARCGIS button on webpage https://gisapr.atco.com/portal/home/signin.html?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgisapr.atco.com%2Fportal%2Fhome%2F
But getting no element found or timeout errors.
I'm also unable to access inside login form contents but no luck.
Tried:
Implicit and explicit waits
Time sleep()
by all finds..
The element ARCGIS is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.btn.btn_wide#ago_Name"))).click()
Using XPATH:
driver.get('https://gisapr.atco.com/portal/home/signin.html?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgisapr.atco.com%2Fportal%2Fhome%2F')
