I know there have been several similar questions, but I haven't seen an answer to my specific need: Is there a way to click a button in a separately launched web page? For example, I launch another web page via:
<a href="x" target="y"> or window.open()Can I then click an input button in that launched web page programmatically?

We can find the button on the web page by using methods like find_element_by_class_name(), find_element_by_name(), find_element_by_id() etc, following which we can click on it by using the click() method.
To click a button programmatically with JavaScript, we can call the click method. const userImage = document. getElementById("imageOtherUser"); const hangoutButton = document. getElementById("hangoutButtonId"); userImage.
HTML DOM Element click()The click() method simulates a mouse-click on an element. This method can be used to execute a click on an element as if the user manually clicked on it.
click() method simulates a mouse click on an element. When click() is used with supported elements (such as an <input> ), it fires the element's click event. This event then bubbles up to elements higher in the document tree (or event chain) and fires their click events.
Unless the page is underneath your own control or resides on the same domain then no, it is not possible. This would be cross-site scripting and all browsers have security sandboxes in place to keep something like this from happening. Why are you trying to programmatically press a button on a page that you're also programmatically opening?
