Is it possible to click an element through selenium by a partial value of an onclick
element?
There are multiple input items on a page, and I only need to select one with a specific string.
Examples would be:
<input name="booksubmit" type="button" class="searchAvailBtnSelect" value="Select" onclick="setTimeout('disableSelect()',1);bookNowSubmit('0165','1BD','000000452014022703S000016500010708F ','101400','156000','3','02/27/2014','false','false','false','false','true','false','false','EXPRESS','63','1 Bedroom Deluxe','false','AC')">
<input name="booksubmit" type="button" class="searchAvailBtnSelect" value="Select" onclick="setTimeout('disableSelect()',1);bookNowSubmit('0165','2BD','000000452014022703S000016500010708F ','101400','156000','3','02/27/2014','false','false','false','false','true','false','false','EXPRESS','63','2 Bedroom Deluxe','false','AC')">
<input name="booksubmit" type="button" class="searchAvailBtnSelect" value="Select" onclick="setTimeout('disableSelect()',1);bookNowSubmit('0165','1BD','000000452014022703S000016500010708F ','101400','156000','3','02/27/2014','false','false','false','false','true','false','false','EXPRESS','63','1 Bedroom Presidential','false','AC')">
If you notice towards the end, there is a "1 Bedroom Deluxe", "2 Bedroom Deluxe", and "1 Bedroom Presidential". Since it is an input item, there isn't any text that I would be able to filter by, but I need to only select a specific item, such as the 2 Bedroom Deluxe.
Is there anything I could do in the sense of:
buttons = driver.find_elements_by_name('booksubmit')
for button in buttons:
if button ........
something or another? I'm currently using beautifulsoup4 to also parse the html on the page and retrieve text that is associated with the item, so i don't know if that could be incorporated at all. Visually, the page is an HTML table that is in the format of:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 Bedroom Deluxe | $25 | [button i don't care about] |
|------------------------+---------+---------------------------------|
| 2 Bedroom Deluxe | $50 | [button i'm trying to click] |
|------------------------+---------+---------------------------------|
| 1 Bedroom Presidential | $50 | [button i don't care about] |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
EDIT:
I guess posted this too soon. Right after, a coworked came up and suggested finding the element by Xpath with:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[contains(@onclick,"1 Bedroom Deluxe")]')
