Selenium push button

I am trying to use Selenium to click a button with the following HTML code:

<a id="ctl00_ctl00_cphMain_main_ucSearchResult_rptPager_ctl01_btnPageNumber" class="pager2"href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$cphMain$main$ucSearchResult$rptPager$ctl01$btnPageNumber','')">2</a>

I can find this button using the following code:

element = driver.find_element_by_id("ctl00_ctl00_cphMain_main_ucSearchResult_rptPager_ctl01_btnPageNumber")

but if I then do:

element.click()

I am getting an error, namely:

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Element <a id="ctl00_ctl00_cphMain_main_ucSearchResult_rptPager_ctl01_btnPageNumber" class="pager..." href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$cphMain$main$ucSearchResult$rptPager$ctl01$btnPageNumber','')">2</a> is not clickable at point (82, 516). Other element would receive the click: <p>...</p>

The url I am trying to navigate to is:

https://en.camping.info/campsites

There are two elements div

that overlap the pagination bar and get clicked. You can get rid of these elements div

(hide them to click on the desired button) using JavaScriptExecutor

as shown below:



driver.get("en.camping.info/campsites")
page = driver.find_element_by_id("ctl00_ctl00_cphMain_main_ucSearchResult_rptPager_ctl01_btnPageNumber")
nav_div = driver.find_element_by_id('jq-app-buttons-wrapper')
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].style.display="none";', nav_div)
cookies_div = driver.find_element_by_id('cookie-consent-wrapper')
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].style.display="none";', cookies_div)
page.click()

Try something like this:

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('''//*[@id="ctl00_ctl00_cphMain_main_ucSearchResult_rptPager_ctl00_btnPageNumber"]''')
#I've used xpath here instead of id you can change that.

ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(elem).click().perform()

The problem here is that either one of the 3 cases

  • Item is not visible or displayed
  • The element has a caption over it
  • The element is created after the page has been refreshed (this means it is not displayed for a few seconds and then displayed)
