Clicking on a link via selenium

Question

I am trying to do some webscraping via Selenium. My question is very simple: How do you find a link and then how do you click on it? For instance: The following is the HTML that I am trying to web-scrape:

<td bgcolor="#E7EFF9">   <a href="javascript:selectDodasaDetdasdasy(220011643,'Kdasdası');" target="_self">    Details   </a> </td> 

So, as you can see the word "Details" is a link.

How can I find that link using Selenium and click on it?

Answer 1

You can use find_element_by_link_text:

For example:

link = driver.find_element_by_link_text('Details') 

To Click on it, just call click method:

link.click() 

Answer 2

Then you can try something like this.

for (int i=0; i&lttd.length(); i++){         driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Details')])[i]").click()         }
