Your element is inside an iframe.
You first need to switch to that iframe and only after that will be able to access elements inside it.

driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_id("moduleManagement"))

Firstly, thanks for the response!! secondly do you have an example on how i can do it with my current elements ? OrderStatus=Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[@id='moduleManagement']/select[@class='status-filter']"))

No, you perform switching to the iframe. After that you are working regularly. When you will need to access elements out of the iframe you will have to switch to the default content

Works! thanks you. driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_id("moduleManagement")) OrderStatus = Select(driver.find_element_by_class_name("status-filter")) OrderStatus.select_by_value("2")
