How to click on the text button using selenium python

Question

Hi I'm trying to click on select button using xpath and css selector but it doesn't works

browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="section-select-all"]').click()
browser.find_elements_by_css_selector('#results-container > form > ul > li:nth-child(1) > div > div > button').click()
browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="results-container"]/form/ul/li[1]/div/div/button').click()

please let me know how it would be here is the code

<div class="section-actions"><button type="button" class="section-select-all">Select 50<span class="screen-reader-text"> for section Dec 11, 2015</span></button></div>

If you have issues with the Xpath or CSS queries, you can use the developer tools in Chrome and Firefox to check that your desired web element gets selected. Simply use the console and type $$("CSS query") or $.x("XPath query") — narko

You're using elements that will not work. Use element instead. I am sure it will work.

Keep it simple.If there is a single button then try:

Example 1 -

browser.find_element_by_class_name("section-select-all").click()

If multiple buttons with same class name then you can use this:

Example 2 -

buttons = browser.find_elements_by_class_name("section-select-all")
for button in buttons:
    button.click()

If the buttons are in a frame, then make sure you switch to the frame before clicking on it.

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'

@Bostan - I hope browser = webdriver.Firefox() Or chrome.

@Bostan - Please make sure the spelling of element[s] is correct. In the first example, I used example and in the second I used elements. If you want to click on elements then you need to iterate through the list (like I did in the 2nd example).
