How to click element using selenium web driver(Python)

Question

I am trying to click an element using selenium chromedriver by the Use of ID of an element to click.

I want to Click Year '2020" from the following webpage: 'https://www.satp.org/datasheet-terrorist-attack/major-incidents/Pakistan'

I tried with the below code.

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=ChromeDriver_Path, options = options) driver.get('https://www.satp.org/datasheet-terrorist-attack/major-incidents/Pakistan') Id = "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_gvMajorIncident_ct123_lbtnYear" ### Id of an Element 2020 wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20) ##Wait for 20 seconds element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, Id))) driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element) element.click() time.sleep(10) 

but unfortunately this gives an Error as below:

 element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, Id))) File "C:\Users\Pavan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\support\wait.py", line 80, in until raise TimeoutException(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message: 

Please anyone help me on this... Thanks;

I don't know if your imports were correct. Also, your code doesn't scroll to the bottom of the page. Use this.

import os from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC import time from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='driver path') driver.get('https://www.satp.org/datasheet-terrorist-attack/major-incidents/Pakistan') driver.maximize_window() driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);") time.sleep(3) element = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_gvMajorIncident_ctl23_lbtnYear"]'))) element.click()
