Unable to click on an ahref link using Python Selenium

This is the html code:
<div id="dcf-page-export-buttons" class="no-print" style="display: block;">
<a id="dcf-saveaspdf" href="#" target="_blank" class="k-button">
Save as PDF
</a>
<a id="dcf-saveaspng" href="#" target="_blank" class="k-button">
Save as Image
</a>
<a id="dcf-printPdf" class="k-button" href="#">
Print
</a>
<a id="dcf-btnClose" class="k-button" href="#">
Close
</a>
</div>
I want to click on the Print href but it isn't being clicked. Here is my code:
exportLink = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Export")
exportLink.click()
print = driver.find_element_by_id("dcf-printPdf")
print.click()
Before finding element by id for print, I had clicked on Export href which opened a new tab and after opening of the new tab, I'm trying to click on print but getting an error. This is the error:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
Let me know if I'm going wrong somewhere or if there is a problem in the html.
The first part of the question has been answered. This is the 2nd part:
On clicking on this Print button:
This window gets opened. It's not a new tab per se, but just a new window. Within that window, I want to click on the Save button. Is there a way to go about doing that? This is how the view looks like:
And here is the html code.
<cr-button class="action-button" aria-disabled="false" role="button" tabindex="0">
Save
</cr-button>
Here is my code till now:
exportLink = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Export")
exportLink.click()
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])
driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('dcf-user-info').style.display = 'none';")
time.sleep(1)
print = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Print")
print.click()
This is the snip of the error log. I've added the snip because I'm unsure of the error.
Small continuation of the error:

You need to switch to new tab first then you can click on Print using that Id that you have been trying.
Switch to new windows like this :
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])

As you can see from the error, the element you trying to access is not interactable.
So, the problem is not with HTML.
I can't see the page you working on, but the problem can be that element you trying to access is out of the view.
Try this
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
print = driver.find_element_by_id("dcf-printPdf")
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(print).click(button).perform()

"Element click intercepted" Error while trying to click on CheckBox

I want to click on a check box after I load up a page, but I get the error message below:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element <img class="checkboximage" src="/images/nav/ns_x.gif" alt=""> is not clickable at point (843, 7). Other element would receive the click: <a class="ns-help" onclick="nlPopupHelp('EDIT_TRAN_CUSTINVC');" tabindex="0" onkeypress="(event.keyCode == 13 || event.charCode == 32) && nlPopupHelp('EDIT_TRAN_CUSTINVC');">...</a>
This is what I have right now: I've tried several other methods before this
collectionsbox = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"#custbody_in_collections_fs_inp")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true)", collectionsbox)
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#id='custbody_in_collections_fs']//img[#class='checkboximage']"))).click()
collectionsbox.click() #USUALLY FAILS RIGHT HERE
savebutton = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//input[#id='btn_multibutton_submitter']")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#id='btn_multibutton_submitter']"))).click()
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true)", savebutton)
savebutton.click()
time.sleep(2)
driver.switch_to.alert.accept()
I've tried the EC method, waited several seconds, scroll down to view the element. I've even used Xpath, ID, and CSS.
<input onclick="setEventCancelBubble(event); this.isvalid=(nlapiValidateField(null,'custbody_in_collections')); if (this.isvalid) {setWindowChanged(window, true);nlapiFieldChanged(null,'custbody_in_collections');;} else if ( window.loadcomplete && !document.page_is_resetting ) {setFormValue(this, !this.checked);}" aria-labelledby="custbody_in_collections_fs_lbl" onchange="NLCheckboxOnChange(this); " onkeypress="NLCheckboxOnKeyPress(event); return true;" name="custbody_in_collections" id="custbody_in_collections_fs_inp" type="checkbox" value="T" class="checkbox" style="">
<input type="hidden" name="custbody_in_collections_send" style="">
<img class="checkboximage" src="/images/nav/ns_x.gif" alt="" style="">
All I need is click the checkbox and click save up top.

Seems like another element on the DOM is unintentionally hiding the element you are trying to click. You can try executing Javascript for the click instead. This usually resolves the issue for me.
Instead of collectionsbox.click() #USUALLY FAILS RIGHT HERE, you can replace with:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", collectionsbox)

To address element is not clickable at point (x, y) error. We can follow below approaches to resolve this issue
Solution
1. Action Class
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("yourelement ID"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();
2. Element not getting clicked as it is not within Viewport
use JavascriptExecutor to get element within the Viewport:
checkBox=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"yourelement Xpath")))
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(checkBox).click(checkBox).perform()

Find span class with selenium python

I am using selenium and python to learn about automation web testing.
I want to click on "Continue" button, while there is only span in it (I had learned that using id instead of span is so much easier)
but in this case, I want to click the span.
I am using below code:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(#class,'mdBtn01Txt')][contains(text(),'Continue')]").click()
here is the element :
<div class="mdLYR12Inner01">
<a class="MdBtn01 mdBtn01 ExDisabled FnSubmitBtn" style="display:none" href="#" onclick="charge(this); return false;">
<span class="mdBtn01Inner">
<span class="mdBtn01Txt">
Continue <<<(I want to click this button)
</span>
</span>
</a>
</div>
</footer>
But, I got this message below:
raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//span[contains(#class,'mdBtn01Txt')][contains(text(),'Continue')]"}

Does not looks like a valid xpath, correct one should be
//span[#class='mdBtn01Txt']
Here is the rule to create xpath
Syntax for XPath:
XPath contains the path of the element situated at the web page. Standard syntax for creating XPath is:
Xpath=//tagname[#attribute='value']
Tagname: Tagname of the particular node.
#: Select attribute.
Attribute: Attribute name of the node.
Value: Value of the attribute.

Python - Unable to click button in Selenium under tooltip, webpage throws request error

This is the element I am trying to click (the info button). It's located on pokemongomap.info, and you can see it in chrome devtools under any pokestop or gym.
<a href="#" target="_self" class="tooltip tooltipstered" id="infoboxmoreinfobtnbind" style="display: inline;">
<div id="infoboxmoreinfohit"></div>
<div id="infoboxmoreinfobtn" class="infoboxbtn">
<i class="fa fa-info-circle" aria-hidden="true" style="color: rgb(57, 135, 140);">
</i>
</div>
</a>
I am unable to click it using ActionChains, element.click(), or anything else. If I try to click it using either of those methods, I get a request error from the website. Can anyone help me? Here is some of the code I have tried.
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
actions = Actions(driver)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'infoboxmoreinfobtnbind')))
#element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//i[#class="fa fa-info-circle"]'))) also throws error when clicked
#actions.move_to_element(element).click(element).perform() doesn't work either.
action = actions.move_to_element(element)
action.click()
action.perform()
I've also tried clicking on other infobox elements using ActionChains or element.click(), all of them either do nothing or give a request error or aren't clickable at the point.

As a last resort, you can use JS with execute_script:
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
actions = Actions(driver)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'infoboxmoreinfobtnbind')))
driver.execute_script("$(arguments[0]).click();", element)
This is not a humanlike automation but it should do the job...
Hope this helps you!

How to automate webpage button control using Selenium?

How to automate webpage button control like having span child by using
driver. findElement_by_xpath ()
on Ubuntu Linux and chromium Autotest
The wesite is: https://www.youtube.com/my_webcam?privacy=public
I would like to click on Start recording button.
HTML source is:
<button class="yt-uix-button yt-uix-button-size-default yt-uix-button-dark yt-uix-button-has-icon webcam-record-button" type="button" onclick=";return false;" id="record-button">
<span class="yt-uix-button-icon-wrapper">
<span class="yt-uix-button-icon yt-uix-button-icon-upload yt-sprite">
</span>
</span>
<span class="yt-uix-button-content">Start recording </span>
</button>
We have tried it by using
driver.find_element_by_css_selector()
driver.find_element_by_id()
driver.find_element_by_xpath ()
However, nothing has worked. Could you please suggest us appropriate solution?

The record button is within an iframe, you'll need to switch that iframe first and then locate the button with your chosen selector.
iframe = self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#webcam-container")
self.driver.switch_to_frame(iframe)
record = self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#record-button > span.yt-uix-button-content")
record.click()
