Python Selenium Click Next Button

Question

I need to click the "next" button on the following page:

I have the following code that will not find xpath element for the "next button":

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[@class='a-pagination']/li[@class='a-last']/a").click() # Click on next button

I have also tried this variation:

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@id='pagination-next-6885645543374035']/ul/li[@class='a-last']/a")

I also tried directly copying the xpath from the inspector. Neither of these three options work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried browser.find_element_by_id('args')? Or are you specifically wanting to use xpath? — Jake Steele

I'm up for anything that works. Do you have an example based on the html structure? Thanks! — Bronson77

The issue is Amazon attaches a numerical ending onto the ID that is different each time the page loads. Finally found a way to select it using xpath:

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='a-declarative']/div[2]/ul/li[@class='a-last']/a")
