How to click button Selenium Python?

We can click a button with Selenium webdriver in Python using the click method. First, we have to identify the button to be clicked with the help of any locators like id, name, class, xpath, tagname or css.

Then we have to apply the click method on it. A button in html code is represented by button tagname. The click operation can also be performed with the help of the JavaScript Executor.

Selenium can execute JavaScript command with the help of execute_script method and the JavaScript command - arguments[0].click() and the webelement locator are passed as a parameter to this method

Syntax

l=driver.find_element_by_id("btn");
l.click();
//with JavaScript Executor
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", l);

Let us try to click the button CHECK IT NOW on the page −

Example

Code Implementation with method click

from selenium import webdriver
#set chromodriver.exe path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe")
#implicit wait
driver.implicitly_wait(0.5)
#maximize browser
driver.maximize_window()
#launch URL
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm")
#identify element
l =driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[text()='Check it Now']")
#perform click
l.click()
print("Page title is: ")
print(driver.title)
#close browser
driver.quit()

Code Implementation with JavaScript Executor

from selenium import webdriver
#set chromodriver.exe path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe")
#implicit wait
driver.implicitly_wait(0.5)
#maximize browser
driver.maximize_window()
#launch URL
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm")
#identify element
l =driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[text()='Check it Now']")
#perform click with execute_script
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", l);
print("Page title is: ")
print(driver.title)
#close browser
driver.quit()
