How to click a given point of an element in Selenium | automateNow

Learn how to click a given point of an element in Selenium WebDriver.

Did you know that by default, Selenium clicks the center point of a given element? But, what if you have a scenario where you need to click a specific area of an element? Selenium provides a special method for that called moveToElement() and in this video you will learn how to use it to move a slider element around.

Is it possible to click outside of the button with this code? Because I have a website that is charging with javascript whenever one does an action. And for some reason, selenium is not finding a button that appears even though I put a pause of many seconds.

Given this scenario, I thought of finding a button I'm sure selenium can find and then telling him to move to the button in question with pixels... For example, go down 180 pixels and click there. This would open the file I need to open.

Also, will you make video for some drag and drop actions as well? Thanks again 😊

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, recently I've been learning about Selenium and your video was halpful, btw I'm using it on Python so when I check the oficial documentation about Selenium I found that 'moveToElement()'(Java) method has been removed from Python in Selenium v4.3. Have you any idea how to replicate the behavior you taught on this video but using Python?

Is there any way to right click on a element using webpath ?
