I've got a table with a bunch of links. The IDs are all unique but do not correspond to the actual text that is displayed so I'm having some trouble.
Ex.
<tr>
<td><a id="011" href="/link">Project 1</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="235" href="/link">Project 2</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="033" href="/link">Project 3</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="805" href="/link">Project 4</a></td>
</tr>
I only know the text within the ahref (ie. Project 1) and I want to search for it and click it. I haven't been able to figure this out and I've been playing around with find_element_by_xpath for a while.
I've been using
selectproject = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(.,projectname)]").click();
(projectname is a variable that changes every iteration) I think it works to find the element since the script runs but it doesn't click. I think it's because I'm not actually searching for the ahref and just for the text?
