Selenium/Python: Error click a button whose address is with JavaScript, onclick [duplicate]

It seems browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="CellPlayDate0"]') returns a list of elements.

You need to pick an element and create click event may be like

browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="CellPlayDate0"]')[0].click()

The error says it all :

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'

As per your code block you have :

browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="CellPlayDate0"]').click()

Which instead of an WebElement returns a List. Hence when you try to click on the List you see the error as AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'

Solution would be either to change the method find_elements_by_xpath to find_element_by_id or to construct an unique xpath as follows:

• As the WebElement have a id:

  browser.find_elements_by_id("CellPlayDate0').click()
  

• Construct an xpath:

  browser.find_elements_by_xpath("//td[@id='CellPlayDate0']").click()
  

There problem here is you're calling click() on a list of <td> instead of the <a> anchor which actually has the click you wanted. Try this instead:

browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="CellPlayDate0"]/a').click()

Notice the use of find_element_by_xpath instead of find_element[s]_by_xpath? Or with css:

browser.find_element_by_css_selector('#CellPlayDate0 a').click()

You have two problems.

First, the xpath expression returns a list as the other answers have pointed out. Python lists don't have a click method, the returned elements do.

Second, your xpath expression isn't actually finding anything. It's returning an empty list of no matches, which is why you're getting the index out of range error.

What you probably want is this:

for elem in browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="CellPlayDate0"]'):
    elem.click()

Note that you'll still need to tweak the xpath string to actually match something on the page.
