python selenium click on button


I am quite new to python selenium and I am trying to click on a button which has the following html structure:

<div class="b_div">

    <div class="button c_button s_button" onclick="submitForm('mTF')">
        <input class="very_small" type="button"></input>
        <div class="s_image"></div>
        <span>
           Search
        </span>
    </div>

    <div class="button c_button s_button" onclick="submitForm('rMTF')" style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
        <input class="v_small" type="button"></input>
        <span>
              Reset
        </span>
   </div>

</div>

I would like to be able to click both the Search and Reset buttons above (obviously individually).

I have tried a couple of things, for example:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.button .c_button .s_button').click()

or,

driver.find_element_by_name('s_image').click()

or,

driver.find_element_by_class_name('s_image').click()

but, I seem to always end up with NoSuchElementException, for example:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: u'Unable to locate element: {"method":"name","selector":"s_image"}' ;

I am wondering if I can somehow use the onclick attributes of the HTML to make selenium click?

Any thoughts which can point me in the right direction would be great. Thanks.


Solution

  • For python, use the

    from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
    

    and

    ActionChains(browser).click(element).perform()
