Can't click on next button Selenium

I am trying to have selenium click on the next page button at this site after clicking the submit button and getting pages of results: https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search
I have tried countless ways to have selenium click on this button. The html code for the next page button on the results page is here:
<button class="mat-paginator-navigation-next mat-icon-button" mat-icon-button="" type="button" aria-describedby="cdk-describedby-message-8" cdk-describedby-host="" aria-label="Next page" style="touch-action: none; user-select: none; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"><span class="mat-button-wrapper"><svg class="mat-paginator-icon" focusable="false" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M10 6L8.59 7.41 13.17 12l-4.58 4.59L10 18l6-6z"></path></svg></span><div class="mat-button-ripple mat-ripple mat-button-ripple-round" matripple=""></div><div class="mat-button-focus-overlay"></div></button>
I've tried the following:
link = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="rsltToolbar"]/mat-paginator/div/div/div[2]/button[2]')
link.click()
But the code does not work. Hopefully this is the button that needs to be clicked! I've tried by css selector, class_name, by javascript etc. to no avail. Any help much appreciated.

link = driver.find_element_by_classname("mat-paginator-navigation-next")
should work fine
# (tested in js console with)
document.querySelector(".mat-paginator-navigation-next").click()
you might have to just add a delay (ie its probably not clickable initially(or clicking it too soon just does nothing)) I think you can wait for it to be clickable somehow

driver.findElement(By.id("submit")).click();
Thread.sleep(4000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='rsltToolbar']/mat-paginator/div/div/div[2]/button[2]")).click();
XPath you have tried is working just need to add delay after you click "Search" on page"https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search"

Cannot click on button with selenium

I have the following website where I want to click on the button "SKIP THIS AD" that popup after waiting x seconds.
My code is as follows:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('http://festyy.com/wpixmC')
sleep(10)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[3]/div[1]/span[5]').click()
However, when I inspect the element I don't see a connected link to be clicked. In addition, I get
ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element <span class="skip-btn
show" id="skip_button" style="cursor: pointer">...</span> is not clickable at point (765, 31). Other
element would receive the click: <div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 869px;
height: 556px; z-index: 2147483647; pointer-events: auto;"></div>
Somehow it seems that everything is redirected to the larger class? How can I overcome this? When I try to copy the xpath I get also only the following: /div
Thanks in advance

It seems that the error that you receive ('element click intercepted') is due to the fact that there is a div that is placed on page load, that takes up the whole page, preventing Selenium from clicking on the skip button.
Therefore you have to remove that div first and then run this:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[3]/div[1]/span[5]').click()
You can remove the div by running some JavaScript code as follows:
driver.execute_script("""
var badDivSelector = document.evaluate('/html/body/div[7]',
document.documentElement, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE,
null);
if (badDivSelector) {
var badDiv = badDivSelector.singleNodeValue;
badDiv.parentNode.removeChild(badDiv);
}
""")
The code above finds the full page div (identified by xpath) and removes it from the page.
Your final code should look something like this:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('http://festyy.com/wpixmC')
sleep(10)
driver.execute_script("""
var badDivSelector = document.evaluate('/html/body/div[7]',
document.documentElement, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE,
null)
if (badDivSelector) {
var badDiv = badDivSelector.singleNodeValue;
badDiv.parentNode.removeChild(badDiv);
}
""")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[3]/div[1]/span[5]').click()
....

Can't Click Element

I am trying to make click for this element,
but getting error like
>> ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element is not clickable at point (271, 705)
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#action="/battle/"]/div/input[2]')))
element.click();
This is not helping also getting timeoutexception. I think element kinda covered
with:
[driver.find_element_by_xpath('//[#action="/battle/"]/div/input[2]').click()]
<form action="/battle/" method="post" name="4416" id="4416" onsubmit="get('/battle/', '', this); disableSubmitButton(this); return false;"><div class="battleView" style="float:left; width:65%;"><h3 class="heading-maroon no-right-border-rad margin-right-2">Attack Results</h3><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 80%; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto;">
...
</tbody></table><input type="hidden" class="button-maroon button-small" name="action" value="attack">
<input type="submit" class="button-maroon button-small" value=" Attack .. "></div>
</form>

It looks like it's showing the X/Y coordinates (271,705) in the error message. I'd try a macro product like AppRobotic to look up the X/Y coordinates of elements that you have issues finding with XPATH, moving the mouse, or sending keystroke TABS, and clicking it. A simple example:
import win32com.client
x = win32com.client.Dispatch("AppRobotic.API")
from selenium import webdriver
# navigate to Yahoo
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('https://www.yahoo.com')
# sleep 1 second
x.Wait(1000)
link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Mail')
if len(link) > 0
link[0].click()
else
x.Wait(3000)
# use UI Item Explorer to get X,Y coordinates of Mail box
x.MoveCursor(271,705)
# click inside Search box
x.MouseLeftClick
# could also try tabbing over and pressing Enter
x.Type("{TAB}")
x.Type("{ENTER}")
Another idea is to try scrolling to the element with Selenium first:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//[#action="/battle/"]/div/input[2]')
actionchains = ActionChains(driver)
actionchains.move_to_element(element).perform()

Click event not happening in Python with Selenium web driver

Friends facing challenges again in following scenarios using Python with Selenium web driver:-
Click event not happening on clicking the link name as "Area Rank Web".
HTML Code for MSTR Report is as follows:-
<td class="mstrLargeIconViewItemText" rowspan="1" colspan="1" cx="[2,1,0,5,1,6,7]" cxid="folderAllModes_cmm" oid="600E4BA841AC84797221F7BB5262C3E0" oty="55"><a title="Run Document" class="mstrLargeIconViewItemLink" onclick="return submitLink(this, event);" href="Main.aspx?evt=2048001&src=Main.aspx.2048001&visMode=0&currentViewMedia=1&documentID=600E4BA841AC84797221F7BB5262C3E0" runasexpress="1" alt="Run Document"></a><div class="mstrLargeIconViewItemName"><span sty="nm"><a title="Area Rank Web" class="mstrLink" onclick="return submitLink(this, event);" href="Main.aspx?evt=2048001&src=Main.aspx.2048001&visMode=0&currentViewMedia=1&documentID=600E4BA841AC84797221F7BB5262C3E0" runasexpress="1">Area Rank Web</a></span></div><div class="mstrLargeIconViewItemOwner"><label>Owner:</label><span><div title="Administrator" class="owner">Administrator</div></span></div><div class="mstrLargeIconViewItemModified"><label>Modified:</label><span><div timestamp="1525148536000">5/1/18 4:22:16 AM</div></span></div><div class="mstrLargeIconViewItemDescription"></div><div></div><div class="mstrLargeIconViewItemActions"><span><a class="mstrLink" onclick="if (!mstrFolderActions.checkACL(this, event, '600E4BA841AC84797221F7BB5262C3E0', 55)) return; return submitLink(this, event);" href="Main.aspx?evt=3032&src=Main.aspx.3032&objectType_3032=55&objectID_3032=600E4BA841AC84797221F7BB5262C3E0" ty="sub">Subscriptions</a></span></div></td>
I tried following ways but not getting success:
#driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[title='Area Rank Web']").click();
#driver.find_elements_by_class_name (("mstrLargeIconViewItemName") and contains(.,'Area Rank Web')).click()
#driver.find_element_by_id("600E4BA841AC84797221F7BB5262C3E0").click()
#driver.find_element_by_css_selector("600E4BA841AC84797221F7BB5262C3E0").click()
#WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='mstrLargeIconViewItemText']/span[#class='mstrIcon-lg' and contains(.,'Area Rank Web')]"))).click()
2.
There is a block having two values as:- AREA, DISTRICT. You can select more than value and then click on arrow button which moves selected content to the right side of block and then click on submit button
HTML code:
<div title="AREA" class="mstrListBlockItemSelected" style="margin-top: 0px;"><div class="mstrBGIcon_ae mstrListBlockItemName" style="background-position: 2px 50%; padding-left: 23px;">DSI</div></div>
<div title="DISTRICT" class="mstrListBlockItem" style="margin-top: 0px;"><div class="mstrBGIcon_ae mstrListBlockItemName" style="background-position: 2px 50%; padding-left: 23px;">ONC</div></div>
Tried following ways but click event is not happening

Can you try link_text/ partial_link_text instead?
driver.find_element_by_link_text('Area Rank Web').click()
OR
driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('Area Rank Web').click()
Also, try having an explicit wait before you click on the link.
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.element_to_be_clickable(
(By.LINK_TEXT, 'Area Rank Web')
))
if all the above fails, use execute_script method to invoke a click event on the link
link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Area Rank Web')
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].click();', link)

Selenium changing html on a page with python

<div id="modalContent" style="opacity: 1; top: 35%;">
</div>
Say I want to delete this on everytime I go to a particular website.
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("some url")
#driver.removeelement("""<div id="modalContent" style="opacity: 1; top: 35%;">
#</div>""")
Is there a way to do this?

To do this, you should execute some javascript on the DOM element. Here is how I would do it.
driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('modalContent').remove()")
Should work.
