How to click on a button that does not appear on page source?

I'm trying to click on a button using Selenium with Python, however the button does not appear on Page Source and thus, the instantiated driver cannot find it. Here is the link I am accessing: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/query-builder?month=6&year=2021
And the button I want to click is "Download Summary (CSV)", which is located at the end of the page.
I have already googled this kind of trouble but I haven't found a possible solution so far.
My attempt was to find the button directly by using the following commands, but it returns a NoSuchElementException:
element = driver.find_element_by_id('exportSummaryButton')
element.click()
This exception triggered me the intuition that the page source differs from what I see on Devtools and this is exactly what happens.
Thanks in advance!

Not able to click on Google recaptcha checkbox (Python, Selenium)

I have a python code that works for me, unfortunately it does not work on wix.com login page. (to see that page, open wix.com, click Sign In button, and then click Log in link to open the page)
The problem is with clicking on recaptcha box.
This is a part of the relevant page html
Here's the part of the code that I am using for testing:
frames = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//iframe[#title='reCAPTCHA']") driver.switch_to.frame(frames) try: a = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "recaptcha-checkbox-border") a.click()
Program goes in to the try area and then throws an error when trying to find the element.
I would appreciate if someone could help me find the reason why?
My guess it is something related to the page I am accessing as the same code works well on a different site.

With selenium on python don't know how to shut down a banner which is preventing selenium from accessing the page content

I'm trying to open a site with Selenium (with Python) using Chrome browser, but when I do, a full screen promo banner immediately pops-up and I can't access the site content unless I close it.
On the top right there is an "x" as if it was a quit button, but actually it's an element ::before
and from its description it seems to me that it doesn't contain any button element.
If I operate manually, both clicking on the x and on the upper part of the page outside the banner, the latter closes, but I really don't understand how to access it with selenium.
The webpage I'm trying to open is https://sports.bwin.it/it/sports
Needless to say I'm quite inexperienced, so I hope this question won't sound too basic, but I wasn't able to find a solutione in the selenium docs or on the web; if someone could give me any hint I would appreciate it.
This is a screenshot from the page I'm talking about
This is part of the html code from the web page; the element I am talking about is the one pointed by the arrow;

Based on your screen shot the xpath you want to use would be something like this:
//*[#data-id='dj_sports_c_ovl_br']//span
full code would be something like this:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//*[#data-id='dj_sports_c_ovl_br']//span"))
)
element.click();

Locate "file upload" button with Selenium

I have the button shown below (image and HTML) and am trying to click it.
Selenium is unable to locate it - I have tried locating by both xpath and by ID.
<input id="wsUpload1" type="file" name="file">
XPATH:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#id="wsUpload1"]')
element.click()
Where am I going wrong?
EDIT: Here is the exception thrown by Selenium:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//input[#id="wsUpload1"]"}

Possibilities
Duplicate web element with same id in the page.
Element may be in frame. You need to switch to frame
Trying to access the web element before page is loading.Give some wait time.

Not sure why your button wasn't found, maybe it's because of quotes (although it should show you error in that case), try with driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//input[#id='wsUpload1']") and see if it works. I'm not sure is your button already rendered on the page or you trigger it somehow so it's not there yet?
NoSuchElementException is thrown because your targeted element couldn't be found on that page, it could be that you are on the wrong page, element is not rendered yet so you should wait for it to appear, element could be in some iframe etc etc, it's hard to say when I don't know how your page works.
But if you are trying to upload something you should perform sendKeys() on that button (with path of file which are you trying to upload), not click() on it. This is how selenium upload works.

I have solved it - the driver opens a tab on a side panel and the button is in the tab. There seems to be a few ms delay between clicking the tab and the button appearing so I added a wait until element is clickable and that seems to work.
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#id='wsUpload1']"))).click()

why 2nd click action is not run when browser is Google Chrome

I don't konw why 2nd click action is not be run when browser is Google Chrome.
The 1st input action: input text has been done, then 2nd click action failed to be run
And there's nothing happened on the UI.
Could anybody can tell me the reason?
test link:https://www-01.ibm.com/products/hardware/configurator/americas/bhui/launchNI.wss
from selenium import webdriver driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www-01.ibm.com/products/hardware/configurator/americas/bhui/launchNI.wss') driver.find_element_by_id("modelnumber").send_keys("7383AC1")
driver.find_element_by_name("submit").click()

That page has 3 elements with the name "submit", so ChromeDriver is probably trying to click one that you're not expecting.
Try finding by xpath or css. I'm more familiar with XPath:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#id='modelnumber']/../following-sibling::td/input[#name='submit']").click()
