            </ul>

I am trying to select the last radio button. Since all of them have same id, how can i select the last one.

Any help will be appreciated.

Is that the entire html? Because the one which you have given to me works pretty well with: paste.fedoraproject.org/411153/47169496 — Nehal J Wani

This is the link : 'infoempleo.com/ofertas-internacionales'. There are four check boxes. I need to select the last one. All the check boxes have the same id. So i guess selecting by id will select the first check box. How can i select the last one? — el323

browser.find_elements_by_id("fechapublicacion")[-1].click() ? — Nehal J Wani

Actually find_elements returns list that's why you are in trouble, you should try using find_element instead as below :-

browser.find_element_by_id("fechapublicacion").click()

Or if you want to use find_elements, You should try using index in returned list as below :-

browser.find_elements_by_id("fechapublicacion")[0].click()

Edited :- As I'm seeing in provided HTML, I'd is not unique there and you want to select last element with the id then try using find_elements and select last element by passing last index as -1 :

browser.find_elements_by_id("fechapublicacion")[-1].click()

Or you can also use find_element to point this element using unique css_selector as below :-

browser.find_element_by_css_selector("input#fechapublicacion[value='15']").click()

Got this fixed, but still the radio button is not being selected. What can be the reason for that?

Is there any exception when you are going to click??

And make sure provided Id is unique and you are locating correct element..

Actually the id is not unique. There are four radio buttons with same id. I will edit the question

You are using find_elements.... which returns a list. Use findelement or getelement which returns one element(i got no idea abt python functions). Or else use an index 0 to findelements. it is saying it is trying yo find a click method on a list which it aint got
