I am building a crawling code on a web page running only on IE11.

My problem is that python selenium,selenium.webdriver.Ie, find completely different element of HTML

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[text()='1']")

I look for element which text is 1 on the calendar and element.text's output is also 1 in juypter notebook like picture. enter image description here (I can't be embedded because I'm a Newbie. I'm sorry.)

But if i operate element.click() in browser(driver, HTML),18 is clicked in browser. enter image description here Why did my code operate like this?

  • Add the HTML part you expect to find, and the HTML part you actually find. That could help spotting the problem

  • Have you tried adding specific tags in the selector? Something like this: element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='1']") . If possible, could you provide sample code of the HTML Table element or the link to this webpage so that we can reproduce the problem? Thank you for your understanding.
