Select checkbox using input tag and non standard attribute values using python selenium

Question

I want to select a checkbox with the HTML code shown below using the attribute bayid:

<input type="checkbox" devid="bay" bayid="10" checked="">

I could get the XPath information - "//*[@id="svbSelectEnc1"]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[3]/input", but I want to use the bayid for selecting as there are lot of checkboxes in the form of a table and only specific checkboxes have to be selected that are read from the config file.

You can achieve it by using CSS Selector or XPath as shown below.

By CSS Selector

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[bayid='10']")).click();

By XPath

//input[@bayid='10']

Also I would suggest you to go through basic tutorial on how to find WebElement using CSS Selector and XPath

CSS selector way to do this:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("yourTagName[attribute='attributeValue']")).click();

For your specific case:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[bayid='10']")).click();
