python selenium click on button

Question

I am quite new to python selenium and I am trying to click on a button which has the following html structure:

<div class="b_div">

    <div class="button c_button s_button" onclick="submitForm('mTF')">

        <input class="very_small" type="button"></input>

        <div class="s_image"></div>

        <span>

           Search

        </span>

    </div>

    <div class="button c_button s_button" onclick="submitForm('rMTF')" style="margin-bottom: 30px;">

        <input class="v_small" type="button"></input>

        <span>

              Reset

        </span>

   </div>

</div>

I would like to be able to click both the Search and Reset buttons above (obviously individually).

I have tried a couple of things, for example:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.button .c_button .s_button').click()

or,

driver.find_element_by_name('s_image').click()

or,

driver.find_element_by_class_name('s_image').click()

but, I seem to always end up with NoSuchElementException, 

for example:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: u'Unable to locate element: {"method":"name","selector":"s_image"}' ;

I am wondering if I can somehow use the onclick attributes of the HTML to make selenium click?

Any thoughts which can point me in the right direction would be great. Thanks.

Answer 1

For this query remove the spaces between classes in css selector

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.button.c_button.s_button').click()

And check your answer if you still got same error go through 

print(driver.page_source) and check the name, mostly error will be with the name, if you have a different name please rename it to which you are calling and retry it. Hope it will help you.
