Using Selenium in Python to click/select a radio button

I am trying to select from a list of 3 buttons, but can't find a way to select them. Below is the HTML I am working with.

<input name="pollQuestion" type="radio" value="SRF">
<font face="arial,sans-serif" size="-1">ChoiceOne</font><br />
<input name="pollQuestion" type="radio" value="COM">
<font face="arial,sans-serif" size="-1">ChoiceTwo</font><br />
<input name="pollQuestion" type="radio" value="MOT">
<font face="arial,sans-serif" size="-1">ChoiceThree</font>


I can find it by using the following code:

for i in browser.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[@type='radio']"):
print i.get_attribute("value")


This outputs: SRF,COM,MOT

But I would like to select ChoiceOne. (To click it) How do I do this?

Use CSS Selector or XPath to select by value attribute directly, then click it.

value

browser.find_elements_by_css("input[type='radio'][value='SRF']").click
# browser.find_element_by_xpath(".//input[@type='radio' and @value='SRF']").click


Corrections (but OP should learn how to look up in documentation)

find_elements_by_css

find_elements_by_css_selector

find_element_by_css_selector

find_elements_by_css_selector

find_element_by_css_selector("input[type='radio'][value='SRF']").click()

In your for loop you can use the click method.

for i in browser.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[@type='radio']"):
i.click()


browser.find_elements_by_xpath(".//input[@type='radio' and @value='SRF']")[0].click


This ended up being the fix. I was getting errors without the [0] there, that a list does not have a click() attribute (even though there was only 1 match). Thanks for the help user1177636!

find_elements_by_css_selector worked for me,

find_elements_by_css_selector

browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("input[type='radio'][value='SRF']")[0].click()


Selenium webdriver Radio button click

When i used xpath :

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='id_gender2']").click()


radio button not selected

But I used css_selector :

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input#id_gender1").click()


radio button selected
