I am using selenium in VBA and I have solved similar issue related to calendar but I am stuck on that calendar (I am sure it is related to javascript) Here is the outer HTML of the calendar
<tr><td style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; PADDING-TOP: 5px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: honeydew" valign="top" align="center" colspan="4"><table style="WIDTH: 632px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="WIDTH: 140px; PADDING-TOP: 10px" valign="top" align="center"><span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Label5" style="display:inline-block;width:125px;">Date</span> <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Label14" style="color:Red;font-weight:bold;">*</span></td><td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-TOP: 10px" valign="middle" align="right"><table id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Calendar_Receipt" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" title="Calendar" border="0" style="width:276px;height:166px;font-weight:bold;font-size:X-Small;font-family:Verdana;color:Black;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:White;background-color:White;border-collapse:collapse;">

</tbody></table> </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr>Can you guide me how to deal with such calendar?
I noticed at these lines the following
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$Calendar_Receipt','0')" style="color:Black" title="January 01">1</a>
The parameter which is '0' represents 01 January 2000 and this number changes to '1' on 02 Jaunuary 2000. Is it possible to go to specific date using such javascript directly?
CodePudding user response：
Induce some wait and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
XPath:
//tr/td/a[@title='Go to the previous month' and text()='July']Css:
tr>td>a[title='Go to the previous month']
