CodePudding user response：

It seems that the element you wanted to click is not clickable you can use the same locator with below code or use the code as is.

from selenium.webdriver.common.by
import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui
import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support
import expected_conditions as EC

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(
   EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "submit")))  # if you want to click on the button Acceder al Procedimiento

element.click();

CodePudding user response：

Use WebDriverWait() and wait for element to be clickable and following xpath to click on the element.

absolute xpath is always fragile, you should use relative xpath to identify the element. You can learn form here Xpath cheatsheet

WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@value='Acceder al Procedimiento']"))).click()

Import below libarries

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
