How can I find this element in selenium Safari()

This is the page https://www.wunderground.com/weather/gb/london I want to click on history.
This is what I get when I inspect the element History
None of the find element methods has worked, I always get invalid syntax on my script. How can I find the element and select it?.Thank you

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[.='History']").click()
Would be able to get it.
If that doesn't try the following.
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get("https://www.wunderground.com/weather/gb/london")
elem=wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//button[./i[.='close']]")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", elem)
elem=wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//a[./span[.='History']]")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", elem)

Python selenium find_element_by_xpath not finding existing element in page

I am using Python 3.6+ and Selenium 3.141
I am trying to get an element from a page, and although I'm using the correct Xpath expression (confirmed in the brower console), the same Xpath expression raises a 'NotFound' error in selenium chrome driver.
myscript.py
from selenium import webdriver
url = 'https://live.euronext.com/en/product/stock-options/AH1-DPAR'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver')
browser.get(url)
try:
checkbox = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="form-options-index"]/div/div[2]')
except:
pass
The script throws an exception where the find_element_by_xpath() method is invoked - even though when using a browser, the same Xpath expression will result in the element being identified/selected correctly.
Why is the Xpath expression not working with selenium? How do I fix this?

Required content absent in page source - it's loaded dynamically, so you need to wait until it appear in DOM:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
url = 'https://live.euronext.com/en/product/stock-options/AH1-DPAR'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver')
browser.get(url)
checkbox = WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="form-options-index"]/div/div[2]')))

To click on Select all CheckBox. Use WebDriverWait() and wait for element_to_be_clickable() and following Xpath.
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'//*[#id="form-options-index"]//label[#for="select_all_dates"]'))).click()
You need to import below libraries.
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

unable to select an element using xpath using selenium

I'm trying to automate a process using selenium and have been able to open a webpage and click on links, however I stumbled upon a table in which a link needs to be clicked but I'm unable to select that link and getting an error. need help to select that particular element
right now this is what I've done
elem2=browser.find_elements_by_xpath('/html/body/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[3]/a::text')
elem2.click()
you can see in the picture that I'm trying to access the findhtml.org link.
the error that I get is
InvalidSelectorException: Message: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression /html/body/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[3]/a::text because of the following error:
SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '/html/body/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[3]/a::text' is not a valid XPath expression.
(Session info: chrome=81.0.4044.113)

First you have to switch to the iframe
Example:
frame = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//iframe[contains(#src, \'hbx.media.net\')]')
browser.switch_to.frame(frame)
Now you can click
link = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//a[contains(#href, \'http://www.findhtml.org\')]')
link.click()

To click on the specific link try below code.
Induce WebDriverWait() and presence_of_element_located() and following xpath.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://publicrecords.netronline.com/state/IL/county/dupage")
element=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//a[#href='http://www.dupageco.org/PropertyInfo/PropertyLookUp.aspx' and contains(.,'Go to Data')]")))
element.location_once_scrolled_into_view
element.click()
Please note the element is not inside any iframe

browser.get('https://publicrecords.netronline.com/state/IL/county/dupage')
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//td[contains(text(),'DuPage Supervisor of Assessments')]//following-sibling::td[2]//a"))).click()
output:
Note : please add below imports to your solution

Python Selenium element is not visible [duplicate]

I am trying to enter username and password in the following website:
https://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/sign-in
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/sign-in')
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//h1[#class="sign-in-input"]').click()
This gave following exception:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not visible
Then I tried to use java script:
driver.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('sign-in-input')[0].click()")
cmd = "document.getElementsByClassName('label-focus')[0].value = 'abc#abc.com'"
driver.execute_script(cmd)
There are no errors but no text is sent to "Email Address" field.
Can someone please guide me on the correct way to enter email address, password and then click "Sign-in".

This error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not visible
...implies that the desired element was not visible within the HTML DOM while the WebDriver instance was trying to find it.
ElementNotVisibleException
ElementNotVisibleException is thrown when an element is present on the DOM Tree, but it is not visible, and so is not able to be interacted with.
Reason
One possitive take away from ElementNotVisibleException is the fact that the WebElement is present within the HTML and this exception is commonly encountered when trying to click() or read an attribute of an element that is hidden from view.
Solution
As ElementNotVisibleException ensures that the WebElement is present within the HTML so the solution ahead would be two folds as per the next steps as detailed below:
If you next step is to read any attribute of the desired element, then you need to induce WebDriverWait in-conjunction with expected_conditions clause set to visibility_of_element_located as follows:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
my_value = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "element_xpath"))).get_attribute("innerHTML")
If you next step is to invoke click() on the desired element, then you need to induce WebDriverWait in-conjunction with expected_conditions clause set to element_to_be_clickable as follows:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "element_xpath"))).click()
This usecase
The xpath you constructed as //h1[#class="sign-in-input"] doesn't match any node. We need to create unique xpath to locate the elements representing Email Address, Password and Sign In button inducing WebDriverWait. The below code block will help you to achieve the same:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path="C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/sign-in')
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#id='modal']//input[#name='email']"))).send_keys("abc#abc.com")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='modal']//input[#name='password']").send_keys("password")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='modal']//button[#class='color-site sign-in-button']").click()

for username use :
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='email')").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='email')").send_keys( "username" )
for password use :
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='password')").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='password')").send_keys( "password" )

There are two problems:
The first one is timing, it takes some time for the form to appear. You you can use explicit wait to solve it.
The second one is that the field id in <input> tag, not <h1> tag, and there are many fields that matches this xpath. I suggest you locate the form holding the fields and use it to locate each field
For the timing issue you can use explicit wait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/sign-in')
form = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//div[#class="modal-body"]//form')))
form.find_element_by_name('email').send_keys(email)
form.find_element_by_name('password').send_keys(password)
form.find_element_by_name('sign-in-button').click()

Selenium can't find element, but element is on the https://login.aliexpress.com/ webpage

On the website the selenium script cannot find the login and password fields. I tried to search by xpath, css selector, name and class name. But nothing worked.
from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://login.aliexpress.com/")
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-id").send_keys("test_id")
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-password").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-password").send_keys("test_pass")
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-submit").click()`
I tried to do this with the help of Selenium IDE, and everything worked in the GUI. But after I exported the code to python and ran it, the program gave an error that it could not find the element.

The login form is inside of a frame, you need to switch to it first.
from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://login.aliexpress.com/")
frame = driver.find_element_by_id("alibaba-login-box")
driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-id").send_keys("test_id")
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-password").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-password").send_keys("test_pass")
driver.find_element_by_id("fm-login-submit").click()

However as the the desired elements are within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elements to be clickable.
You can use the following solution:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get("https://login.aliexpress.com/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#alibaba-login-box[src^='https://passport.aliexpress.com/mini_login.htm?']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.fm-text#fm-login-id"))).send_keys("test_id")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input.fm-text#fm-login-password").send_keys("test_pass")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input.fm-button#fm-login-submit").click()
Interim Broswer Snapshot:
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
