Selenium can automatically click on buttons that appear on a webpage. This article revolves around how to click any button using Selenium in a webpage. In order to do this there are two major steps we have to take :
- Find the button.
- Click on the button.
We can find the button on the web page by using methods like find_element_by_class_name(), find_element_by_name(), find_element_by_id() etc, following which we can click on it by using the click() method.
Syntax :
# finding the button using ID button = driver.find_element_by_id(ID) # clicking on the button button.click()
Code :
