Unable to Click on Continue button - Selenium Webdriver

Question

Unable to Click a link using Selenium - Webdriver: Chrome:Win7

Following is the code when i inspect the button:

a id="continue_button" disabled="false" class="button button-large ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-button-text-only" href="#" role="button" aria-disabled="false">

span class="ui-button-text"> span class="button-content">Continue

I have tried the following ways and nothing works:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='continue_button']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(..,'Continue')]")).click();
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("document.querySelector(\"a[id$='continue_button']\").click()");

wait for the button try first in debug and then try to click driver.verify().verifyElementPresent(by) — Ran Adler

Maybe the link is partially hidden in DOM. You can try clicking hidden (or partially hidden) elements using the code snippet below.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@id='continue_button']));
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

options=driver.find_elements_by_class_name("button-content")
for i in options:
    if(i.text=="Continue"):
        i.click()

The above code is in python.Try the above code by translating into java and i hope it will work perfect... any queries let me know.

If you're wanting more than one element, you'd need to use .find_elements_by_class_name() for a list to iterate over like presented here.

you can try this,

new WebDriverWait(driver,60).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("#continue_button span.button-content"))).click();

The above code will wait for 60 secs for the elements visibilty, if located ,element will be clicked else an exception will be thrown.

if(driver.getTitle().contains("Error"))
    driver.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById('overridelink').click()");

It's better if you explain why your code solves the problem. See How to Answer.
