It would have been good if you have covered explaining how to handle that exception. This video seems incomplete without handling the exception.

If you time for a question, I would appreciate some guidance. I have been trying for days (not kidding) to locate the second Accordion Item in a Python-Dash dbc.Accordion. The html code also has a "flex" badge so I assume it uses flexbox as well. There just is not much documentation at all. I have tried every selector, every path and I can't make it happen. I am posting the code below just in case you can help. I get error messages mostly telling me it cant click at the given coordinates.

I know this question is a shot in the dark. But I am at that point.

Thank you in advance for any feedback.

<button type="button" aria-expanded="false" class="accordion-button collapsed" xpath="1">Step 2: Edit Initial Results</button>

[omgfackdehell]

This is very handy and all... but what about a hover menu?

[estebanasecas]

but man how can I handle this error if the element in not anymore in the DOM? you didn't explain that. I want to verify with Seleniums' asserts

Just some feedback, the s3 link for the first part was not completely loading in my browser. I suspect other things were going on behind the scenes like ad tracker cookies being installed. The script was timing out. As soon as I clicked X next to URL bar to stop the page from continuing to load, the script was able to successfully execute

I am getting popup on the page .how to handle it?

[LinhBui-ypzw]

this is my solution for the hidden elements, you can use my coding:

if len(elem1) == 0:
print("Element is not in DOM")
if len(elem1) > 0 and
print("Element is in DOM but not displayed")

use elem1 to save all result of finding web element
- If cannot find age element in DOM -> print message "Element is not in DOM" instead of error log
- If can find age element in DOM but it is not displayed -> print message "Element is in DOM but not displayed"

Wow, you're not even going to answer how to handle the exception? You're going to give Brasil a heart but ignore the most important question, how to handle the false display... This video is pointless.
