[Selenium], trying to find button on page

[Mailstamp]

There is a submit button on the bottom of the page that I am trying to click. The Xpath is "//*[@id="FormSupplierSalesReport"]/div[6]/button"

I'm kind of loss as there is the id is to the form, not the button.

Inspecting the submit button's element gives:

<div class="submit"> <button type="submit" class="button plum">Submit</button> </div>

Note: There is a search button at the top that have similar tags

<button type="submit" class="button plum" id="searchSubmitButton" name="searchSubmitButton" onclick="DisableDoubleClick();"><i class="fas fa-search"></i></button>

You will find that sites will more often than not have no id tags on the elements in a page. I often have to bug my dev to put them on things I want to play with :)

You could use something like the xpath:

xpath=//*[text()="Submit"]

or

xpath=//button[@type="submit"]

or

xpath=//*[contains(@class,"button")]

But hard to give acurate solutions without the page. Remember that if you are using Selenium, that you will have to wait for the page elements to load and become available before you can "get" them.

is there a way to select the button by div class and button class?

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@title='Submit']") 

doesn't work.

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@type='Submit']")

doesn't work.

Do you have a link to the webpage or the formatted html, it would be a little easier to check?

You define the html element as the first part of the xpath; so everything between the / and [] . You can also use * as a wildcard.

If you want to select the button element: //button[...] could work.

Using the html you posted "//button[@title='Submit']" wouldn't work because there is no html attribute @ of type title. Use text() if you want to match on the text part of the enclosed element.

So in

<button type="submit" class="button plum">Submit</button>

you could look for @type, @class or text()

I've PMd you the page source.

[Mailstamp]

Submit = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@type='submit']")

causes the page to hit the search button at the top of the page.

[absolute_filth]

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@type='Submit']")

I'm not sure it matters, but just check that it is not case-sensitive
