Python Selenium: Unable to click button

Question

I'm new to python and want to write a web scraper which involves mouse clicking an "OK" button on a pop-up window.

Everything else went well but I'm not able to click the final button which leads to the data downloading.

The javascript is as follows:

I tried finding element by id but the following error message appeared:

You know, instead of using Screenshots of the code, use your previous version in which you had actually added the code. This will get you downvotes — NSNoob

find_elements_by_id returns a list of elements. Either iterate over the list that find_elements_by_id returns or use find_element_by_id (notice the missing 's') which will return only a single element (if any).

try this:

browser.find_element_by_id('ctl00_ContentContainer1_ctl00_ButtonsContent_ExportOptionsBottomButtons_OkLabel').click()

Changed this:

find_elements_by_id

to this:

find_element_by_id
