CodePudding user response：

you might be able to use the find_element_by_partial_link_text or find_element_by_link_text functions.

Try using this link for an idea on how to use it. Link

There are 4 ways to click in Selenium.

I will use this xpath

//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[@id='about_page']

Code trial 1 :

time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[@id='about_page']").click()

Code trial 2 :

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[@id='about_page']"))).click()

Code trial 3 :

time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[@id='about_page']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", button)

Code trial 4 :

time.sleep(5)
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'about us')]//parent::a[@id='about_page']")
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(button).click().perform()
