I've been trying to select a radio button using selenium and I'm having no luck. All other selectors (Login, drop down, etc) have all worked fine.
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="content_grid"]/div[1]/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div[3]/label/div[1]/input').click()
This is the radio button I'm trying to select... [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/X64k8.png

Appreciate any help! First time poster and noobie coder :)
Few options to solve the problem. The problem occur as upon retrieving the element and scrolling down to click on it, the site adds a banner that may obstruct the element.
One option is to always open the browser in fullscreen.
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window()
This should help avoiding the banner to be in the way.. less scrolling and less chance for the banner to overlap with the radio button
Selenium also offer a library to return an element upon a condition being met using WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
el = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '[value="E"]')))
Basically, the above will return the element once it is reported as clickable. The clickability of the element might not be in cause here. This way only ensure that the element found can be clicked but does not validation if there is an overlap (which I suspect is the issue here).
Third option, you may go with javaScript to click on the element
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", el)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="content_grid"]/div[1]/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div[3]/label/div[1]/input') I have simplified it using css_selector. driver.find_element_by_css_selector('[value="E"]'). The value "E" was obtain. using the inspector and equal to "Either" which I believe is what you are trying to click with your xPath. Once you get the "el" use the javaScript.from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
