I have a page taken from ThemeForest and I try to examine how it works. If I press one of the links the action taking by the browser is different to one if I just use the anchor link. So I suppose that there is some script run and make the page change more beautiful.
The problem is that I can not understand which script is running in this case: the link has no 'id' tag.
So how do I track the script running upon the link click?

Please I am not sure what I have done wrong. On the first page I have my code run the following:
next = self.driver.find_element_by_name("checkout_shipping")
actions = ActionChains(self.driver)
actions.move_to_element(next)
actions.click(next).perform()
after clicking next, I want my code to click deliver on the second page:
deliver = self.driver.find_element_by_name("final_shipping_option")
actions_check = ActionChains(self.driver)
actions_check.move_to_element(deliver)
actions_check.click(deliver).perform()
However the second page loads and does nothing. On terminal I get "Process finished with exit code 0" as though everything worked fine when it didn't.
Selenium is a Library that essentially acts as a user. So it loads pages on a browser and manually preforms a click.
I believe your script is finding the correct Element with name "final_shipping_option" but maybe it clicks it too fast for the browser since it's still loading in the Webpage.
Consider trying a time.sleep(x) or something like this:
Wait until page is loaded with Selenium WebDriver for Python
Another possibility is that the name of the element is incorrect, so you're clicking the wrong element? Try to click it via ID, or Class or even XPATH depending on if the page is very dynamic or not..
I use a userscript to modify the client-side code of a website. This code is adding an anchor tag to the page. Its target is _blank. The thing is that if I click this link too frequently, the site errors. A simple refresh on the new tab fixes the problem.
When I click on the link and it instantly opens a new tab. But I don't want that new tab to render until I visit it, or with some sort of time delay. Is there a way of achieving this?
I am using Firefox, so Firefox-only solutions are fine. I found this, but I don't see a way of using it to prevent the tab from rendering in the first place. When I Google for this, I see results about add-ons that can solve the problem. But, the links to them always 404. Ideally, the solution would only affect the tabs created by this script instead of the way all tabs work, but if the only way to do it is to affect the way all tabs work, I'd accept that as a solution.
The Tampermonkey documentation says there is a GM_openInTab function. It has a parameter called loadInBackground, but it only decides if the new tab is focused when you click the link.
If there is a way of making this new tab render some HTML of my choosing, I think that would be a neat solution. i.e., I'd write some HTML that, on focus, goes to the actual website's page. If this is an option, I'd need to know how to open a tab to HTML of my choosing in grease monkey.
(Just realization of idea you told in your question yourself)
You can place simple page that waits for focus and then redirects to what you pass in URL parameter somewhere and open in background tabs. Like:
load-url-from-search-on-focus.html?http://example.com:
<!doctype html>
<body
onload="document.title=u=location.search.slice(1)"
onfocus="u?document.location.replace(u):document.write('?search missing')">
Try it.
(data:uri could have been used instead of hosted page, if there weren't those pesky security precautions blocking rendering of top-level datauri navigations :|)
We have a small group of guys who play the game below. We take these games and stream them on Twitch so we can watch them as a group live. We have gotten down the process of automatically opening the URL and streaming the games. However, to get the plays to show there is an OnClick function that we have to manually remote in each time and click. Is there a way we can open this webpage and simulate the click so they are turned on? If you click the link below, you'll see a yellow button called Plays. If you click it you'll see what we want to be able to turn on without manually having to do it.

This depends a lot on how you're automating the page opening.
Normally, you can simply call .click() on an element in JS. But since you want to click something on a page you don't control, it gets complicated.
If you're simply opening a new tab/window via Javascript, you won't be normally able to do this because of cross-domain JS protections. You can disable them which is not recommended--if you go this path, you'll want to load the page in an iframe and execute a callback on it: see this answer. The callback you'll want will look something like:
function(){ window.frames[0].document.getElementById('toggle_plays').click(); }
Knowing how you're doing the automation would help significantly on how to solve the problem within your limits.
I have a javascript file that was accidentally added to the admin side of our site. The javascript is below,
<script>
if (document.getElementById("errorTitle") != null && document.getElementById("errorTitle").innerHTML === "Insufficient Privileges") {
window.location.replace("/portal/InsufficientPrivileges");
} else {
window.location.replace("/portal/FileNotFound");
}
</script>
The problem is that this code runs on the admin pages so we are unable to remove it. If we disable javascript on the browser the page never renders, dynamic content. How can we disable this from running so we can upload the proper file?
You might be able to edit the page that contains the reference to the problem file. If you can just edit the page to jump over where that code is called with an if statement or goto.
If you can't edit the other pages then you can Use the debugger to change the code executed on the fly. Chrome and Firefox have debuggers that should be able to do this.
Specifically for Chrome you go into the object inspector (available via menus or right clicking on the page). Then you can see the HTML on the left window. You select the script tag of interest, you can right click and select delete or select "Edit HTML"
If the page redirects you before you're even able to edit anything, you can use automated tools.
Fiddler (Windows)
Fiddler lets you see all pages downloaded, and then you can have it send your browser a different page when it tries downloading any page you specify (AutoResponder feature). This way you can temporarily edit a page while you can fix it in the admin panel.
Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (Chrome)
These plugins let you run JavaScript code on a page as soon as it gets to your browser. This will let you do things such as removing the script tag programmatically.
Im playing around with making my first chrome extension. Im making a small extension that monitors the webrequests a page makes. This means that im listening to the: chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener event
I am a little confused on how to execute this code on every page i load. It works on any page if i open the extension web page and run the code in this context. However i would like it to run regardless of having the page open. How do i go around doing this?
I looked at content_scripts, but havent figured out if they are the proper path to take - and ven if they are how do i send a message from my content script to my web page notifying it to run the code. As far as i understand this the content script is first run after the page has been loaded and therefore it does not matter if i call my page and add the listeners, because the show is already over - is this correct?
The wa i understand this is that i cannot add listeners in the content script - hence the need to make this messaging thing - is this correct?
Thank you.
You would put the onBeforeRequest listener in a background page, specifically the persistent variant of it. When the event is invoked, whatever you have in the handler will be run.
