driver.find_elements_by_ – To find all elements matching the given locator argument. Returns a list of WebElement

By ID

<input id=”q” type=”text” />

element = driver.find_element_by_id(“q”)

By Name

<input id=”q” name=”search” type=”text” />

element = driver.find_element_by_name(“search”)

Password: <input type=”password” />

</form>

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath(“//form[@id=’testform’]/input[1]”)

By CSS Selector

<form id=”testform” action=”submit” method=”get”>

<input class=”username” type=”text” />
<input class=”password” type=”password” />

</form>

element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(“form#testform>input.username”)
