Have a few issues clicking on a password field for my router web interface page. Below are 2 examples.
A: I get no errors, however the password field does not become show the password like when I manually click
B: I get a element not clickable or with a slight change element not interactable
My question is what am I missing here. Below is the elements from the page
<div class="controls">
<input type="password" id="wrlPwd" name="wrlPwd" class="validatebox input-large" maxlength="63" data-options="{"type":"ssidPwd","args":[8,63]}">
</div>
And below the 2 parts of code
A: PsWrD = browser.find_element_by_class_name('control-label')
B: PsWrD = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@id="id="wrlPwd"" and @class="controls"]') browser.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", PsWrD)
The goal is not to view the password but highlight the text field to change the password. I attempted a few other things such as css and name. I am able to navigate every where else but I am stuck on this little bit.

The element you are trying to click is
<input type="password" id="wrlPwd" name="wrlPwd" class="validatebox input-large" ...>
Always start with ID or name, if they are available. This one has both so lets use ID
browser.find_element_by_id("wrlPwd").click()
The locators you are using are not correct.
A: There is no class, control-label, on the INPUT element you posted. The class is class="validatebox input-large" and the classes are validatebox and input-large.
B: Same problem with this one... you are confusing elements or something. The XPath you are using, //div[@id="id="wrlPwd"" and @class="controls"] has a couple issues.
- You've mangled the id in there twice,
@id="id="wrlPwd"", which should have thrown an invalid XPath error, and the DIV does not have that ID, the INPUT does. - The second part,
and @class="controls", is correct for the DIV but you want to click the INPUT.
Additionally, you may want to add a WebDriverWait to wait for the INPUT to be clickable if there are timing issues. See the docs for more info.

The issue here was my HTML Knowledge. The issue was my element was in an iframe and so could not find it. To resolve I used:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,"membeeLoginIF")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.textboxWaterMark#txtUserName"))).send_keys("Jeff")```
Once I switched to the iframe i found it with out issue
