unable to interact with this dynamic drop down using python selenium

Question

hi team,

I am trying to access a dynamic drop down with div as tag but I an able find it but not interact with it as it changes its style type as shown below.

<div style ="display :none;"></div>"

to

<div style ="display :block;"></div>"

I am unable to click on this, please have a look into the screenshot for detail.

Info you have to click on the element to access this dynamic dropdown,

Answer 1

div is not clickable object in HTML. If it has assigned some JavaScript code to display when you click it then you may need also JavaScript to click it

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click()", item)

and the same way you can change style

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style.display = 'block';", item)

In this minimal working example I remove all img on this page.

from selenium import webdriver
             
url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65931008/unable-to-interact-with-this-dynamic-drop-down-using-python-selenium'

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)

all_items = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//img')
for item in all_items:
    print(item.text)
    #driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click()", item)
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style.display = 'none';", item)
