Read MoreHow to count the total number of radio buttons in a page in Selenium with python?
We can count the total number of radio buttons in a page in Selenium with the help of find_elements method. While working on any radio buttons, we will always find an attribute type in the html code and its value should be radio.This characteristic is only applicable to radio buttons on that particular page and to no other types of UI elements like edit box, link and so on.To retrieve all the elements with attribute type = 'radio', we will use find_elements_by_xpath() method. This method returns a list of web elements with the type of xpath specified in the method ...
