Find and click an element by title using Python and Selenium

Question

I am looking site. In the inspect element, see this:

<span id="item60" title="Havai 30" class="item button link">Get</span>
<span id="item90" title="Classic 50" class="item button link">Get</span>

I need to get and click an element by title. Something like this:

browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="item60"]').click()

But via title.

Well... Have you tried the obvious xpath '//*[@title="Havai 30"]'??? — barak manos

What do you mean by "I am looking site."? It seems incomprehensible. — Peter Mortensen

"I am looking site." may refer to using the web developer tools in a web browser to look at the HTML source for a web site. For example, "Inspector" in Firefox (menu Tools → Browser Tools → Web Developer Tools). — Peter Mortensen

Like barak manos said, the answer was:

'//*[@title="Havai 30"]'

With [0] at ending, case it was list.

Use:

browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@title="Havai 30"]').click()

This will work for me like you said.

From a comment: "find_element_by_* and find_elements_by_* are removed in Selenium 4.3.0. Use find_element instead.".

It may be something like find_element(By.XPATH, ...), with import "from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By".

For Java:

String title = "SOME TITLE";
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[title^='" + title + "']")).click();

This works for me:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@title="Havai 30"]').click()

** Make sure you include the starting and ending square brackets!

For me it works with the page object pattern:

@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@title='Havai 30']")
WebElement imHavai;
