Question

I tried to select 2002 in dropdown menu. It doesn't work at any late. I used xpath

driver.find_element_by_xpath("html/body/main/div/form/div[3]/div[1]/section/div[3]/fieldset/div[7]/dl[1]/dd/ul/li[1]/a").click()

but it doesn't work..I tried all the solutions I got... How can I select this?

Answer 1

If you're able to open dropdown item but unable to click on item, you should try usingExplicit Waits with WebDriverWait to wait until this element is visible and enable to click as below :-

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "ul#ulBirthYear a[data-value='2002']")))
element.click()

Or

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "2002")))
element.click()

Answer 2

First of all, try to avoid using absolute XPATH. Use something like this:

'//ul[@id="uiBirthYear"]/li/a[@data-value="2002"]'

Also ensure, that the DOM is fully built, before you trying to get/click on this element.

Try to set an implicit wait

driver.implicitly_wait(10)

or an explicit wait (read more: http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html )
