Selenium code: java driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//[#id='ctl00_cphMain_TravelRequest1_btnSubmit']")).click();

Submitbutton- xpath code

Answer 1

can you please provide your html code for this issue,
there must be element present in that code,
you should have to use submit() instead of clicking on submit element.
actually click() works only on submit button of (you have to check this condition) and submit() works for all form elements and performs Enter key pressed like operations.
i hope this have to work for you,
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//[#id='ctl00_cphMain_TravelRequest1_btnSubmit']")).submit();
or try using this,
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//[#id='ctl00_cphMain_TravelRequest1_tpTravel_travel_gvTravel_ctl02_txtDuration']")).submit();
according to your html code we get element by id,
driver.findElement(By.Id("ctl00_cphMain_TravelRequest1_btnSubmit")).submit();

Answer 2

In your case, might be the submit button is visible but not clickable as you mentioned in the description. For that, you will have to wait until the element is not to be clickable using the ExplicitWait method. Perform click action after the Submit button gets clickable:
Hope below code will solve your problem.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath(".//[#id='ctl00_cphMain_TravelRequest1_btnSubmit']"))).click();

Answer 3

Sometimes the click() method does not work. Please try with below code once and let me know.
WebElement Login=driver.findElement(By.id("ctl00_cphMain_TravelRequest1_btnSubmit"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", Login);
