Selenium can't click on Javascript:Void(0)

Question

I am trying to web scrape a website using Selenium, and there is an anchor element that I need to click that that has an href of: javascript:void(0)

If you want to see the website for yourself, I am trying to click on the "I accept" button: http://www.collierappraiser.com/index.html?ref=/main_search/RecordDetail.html&ccpaver=1707221124&dl=yes&sid=901496001&ccpaver=1707221124&FolioID=62428180003

I have tried a couple of things, first: browser.find_element_by_link_text('I Accept').click() I get cannot find element error.

I have also tried finding the element by selector and XPath and it still yields the same error.

I have tried executing js like so: browser.execute_script("document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].click();") and it gives me a cannot read property of undefined error.

Please help!

When you visit the website normally, can you click on the link and go somewhere? Or do you have to do something else first? Hint: what does the "I accept" label refer to? — Karl Knechtel

While inspecting the element observed that there is an iframe embedded on the page which holds your element.

Required to switch into the frame to access the element inside.

Refer below code:

driver.switch_to.frame("rbottom")
driver.find_element_by_id("a_searchlink").click()

I tried to do a little research into frames, but my knowledge of HTML is limited. Could you explain frames like I'm 5?
