Fyi: I'm using the selenium package for R, the selection code is equal to javascript or python so I'm asking a general selenium question.
I have a container which I have to make visible by a click, this works.
Then I try to select an element inside this container, I think I find it correctly but the click on the element only makes the popup window disappear.
Example code:
<div class="dateRanges" style="top: 275.313px; display: block;">
<a class="top dateOption CUSTOM" id="id32" href="javascript:;">
Benutzerdefinierter Zeitraum
</a>
<a class="dateOption TODAY" id="id33" href="javascript:;">
Heute
</a>
...
</div>
Element I try to find is "top dateOption CUSTOM".
My different tries which all failed:
remDr$findElement(using = 'xpath','//a[contains(#class,"top")]')$clickElement()
remDr$findElement(value = '//a[#class = "top dateOption CUSTOM"]')$clickElement()
remDr$findElements(using = 'css selector','a[class="top dateOption CUSTOM"]')[[1]]$clickElement()
I don't get any error message, the click seems to happen as the popup disappears, but the effect of the button does not.
I tried to save the object, wait a few seconds and click afterwards with no different effect.
I also tried different approaches with "idc4" with the same outcome.
Would appreciate any help, thank you.

I am trying to login on a company website to upload a file. I am successful on login process but I failed on selecting the "Text button" that expands the other selection.

Below is the HTML elements.
<div class="tree_margin" id="tree_root/14+" style="text-decoration: none; display: block;">
<a class="tree_hover" href="JavaScript:tree_switch_folder('tree_root/14+');">
<img src="skin/blue/sidemenu_minus.jpg" border="0" alt="資材システム" align="absmiddle"> 資材システム</a><br></div>

I tried the code below but it gives me "error:438".
Set objIE = New InternetExplorerMedium
objIE.Document.getElementByClassId("tree_root/14+").Click
Thank you in advance for your help.
Assuming you have left a sufficient page load wait, and that you have shown the correct html, I believe you want to click the anchor tag. You can target its class via css class selector and the querySelector() method:
objIE.Document.querySelector(".tree_hover").click
I've been trying to navigate through a webpage and testing the different links using Robot and Selenium.
I need to click several Dropdown menus. In Google chrome it works fine, but when I use Firefox there will always be one dropdown menu (not always the same one) that will appear selected (Like when a mouse passes over a button), but it will not get clicked.
The code I've been using:
Wait Until Element Is Visible //*[#id="Modules"]/a timeout=20s
Click Element //*[#id="Modules"]/a
Wait Until Element Is Visible xpath: //*[contains(text(), "Tasklist")] timeout=20s
Click Element xpath: //*[contains(text(), "Tasklist")]
This is the element HTML code:
<li id="Modules" class="nav-item nav-item-levels mega-menu-full show">
<a href="#" class="navbar-nav-link dropdown-toggle" data- toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="true">
<i class="fa fa-lg fa-modx"></i>
<span class="menu-item-name" style="color: inherit; display: none;">Modules</span></a>
And this is the screen I'm trying to click on (In my test case, the "modules" dropdown menu appears selected, but the menu doesn't drop down)

So far I've tried increasing selenium_speed and adding a sleep command before clicking, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone knows what the problem with Firefox could be?
I have button in our website, and border areas of the button is not clickable. So, i need to make sure the button is getting clicked at the center. Is it possible via selenium?
I tried using coorinates, but it is not recommended for our scenario.
xpath used : //div/button[#id='clickme']
<div class="col-lg-10 col-sm-12 p-0 pt-4">
<button class="click mb-3 " tabindex="0" id="clickme">+ Click Here</button>
</div>
Java code used to click
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("clickme"));
button.click();
I guess the click is happening sometimes[2 out of 10 times] on the border where it is not clickable(hand symbol not shown) . As a result report says the click action happened, but there is no event fired on the website.
To identify the element with text as Click Here you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
cssSelector:
"button.click#clickme"
xpath:
"//button[contains(#class, 'click') and #id='clickme'][contains(., 'Click Here')]"
I'm using VbScript with Selenium driver to connect to Chrome (store.steampowered.com/app/681530/NOISZ/) and want to click the "Next in Queue" button which is a div class, but nothing happens. I know I'm on the right track because the below lines does work as expected:
(Displays the text Next in queue)
msgbox(driver.FindElementsByXPath("//div[#class='next_in_queue_area']/div[#class='btn_next_in_queue btn_next_in_queue_trigger']").Item(1).text)
(Scrolls to the Next in queue button)
driver.FindElementsByXPath("//div[#class='next_in_queue_area']").Item(1).ScrollIntoView
(But trying these ones does nothing and also no error messages)
driver.FindElementsByXPath("//div[#class='queue_actions_ctn']").Item(1).Click
driver.FindElementsByClass("next_in_queue_content").Item(1).Click
Using Chrome's Inspect when highligtning this code the Next button is highlighted entirely:
<div class="btn_next_in_queue btn_next_in_queue_trigger" data-tooltip-text="Remove this product from your queue and continue to the next item.">
<div class="next_in_queue_content">
<span>Next in Queue<br>
<span class="queue_sub_text">(11 remaining )</span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
So it is just a question of finding the correct div or span to click
To click the button with text as Next in Queue you can use either of the following solution:
FindElement with XPath:
driver.FindElementByXPath("//div[#class='btn_next_in_queue btn_next_in_queue_trigger']/div[#class='next_in_queue_content']/span").Click
FindElements with XPath:
driver.FindElementsByXPath("//div[#class='btn_next_in_queue btn_next_in_queue_trigger']/div[#class='next_in_queue_content']/span").Item(1).Click
As an alternative you can use the ExecuteScript() method as follows:
Dim js As IJavaScriptExecutor = TryCast(driver, IJavaScriptExecutor)
js.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click();", driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[starts-with(#id, 'button-')][#class='x-btn-inner x-btn-inner-center']"))
Or
Imports OpenQA.Selenium.Support.Extensions
driver.ExecuteJavaScript("arguments[0].click();", driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[starts-with(#id, 'button-')][#class='x-btn-inner x-btn-inner-center']"))
I want to go to http://ted.com/talks, click the "See All Topics" in the "Topics" dropdown, and then click the a random letter heading, like "C" or "D-E". However, I don't know how to find the element in the modal popup for that specific letter heading.
This is what the letter heading elements look like when I click "Inspect Element":
<li class="topic-select__range">
<a class = "topic-select__range__link" href="#" data-index="0">A-B</a>
</li>
<li class="topic-select__range">
<a class = "topic-select__range__link" href="#" data-index="1">C</a>
</li>
<li class="topic-select__range">
<a class = "topic-select__range__link" href="#" data-index="2">D-E</a>
</li>
... etc.
My program can get all the way to See All Topics just fine but gets Cannot Locate Element Error when I try to click on the letter headers. This is what my code snippet looks like so far:
# Each header is assigned a number. A header is picked at random, and clicked.
# [ERROR: Cannot locate element.]
random_letter = random.randint(0, 8)
topics_window = browser.find_element_by_class_name("select-modal__content topic-select") # error here, when program tries to find modal popup or tags within it
letter_headers = topics_window.find_element_by_class_name("topic-select__range__link")
letter_headers[random_letter].click()
I couldn't find a way to access modal JavaScript content with selenium. I have instead found a way to do so using web API.
