from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
driver = webdriver.Ie()
url_database =  "https://www-nass.nhtsa.dot.gov/nass/cds/CaseForm.aspx?xsl=main.xsl&CaseID=773013618"
driver.get(url_database)
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_id('menu'))
element = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[@class='menu' and contains(@onclick,'toggleswitch(this)') and contains(.,'Front') and contains(@href,'javascript')]")[0]
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
driver.switch_to.default_content()
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_id('menu'))

soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, "lxml")
for link in soup.findAll('href'):
    print(link)

*A JavaScript Link* - not sure what you mean here but you might be confusing something. — Jack Parkinson, Aug 09 '17 at 14:43

Your image on page is present in src tag not in href tag

Download file :-

Get the SRC attribute of the image.
Use ImageIO.read to read the image onto a BufferedImage
Save the BufferedImage using ImageIO.write function

@Jack what I mean with java script link is there is no direct image location for image it is like "
FRONT
" referenced with java script – surendra Aug 09 '17 at 14:47
even src also not giving anything with find all in Beautifulsoup. – surendra Aug 09 '17 at 14:48
why using BeautifulSoup for it anty special region – Shubham Jain Aug 09 '17 at 14:49
I am using beautifulsoup in other data extraction.so I feel if we could solve the issue with beautifulsoup. other than there is no specific reason. – surendra Aug 09 '17 at 14:54
there what you need to do is use code somethig like :- persons = [] for person in driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@src]'):' – Shubham Jain Aug 09 '17 at 14:55
I have use elements not element .. there is a difference of s – Shubham Jain Aug 09 '17 at 14:56
you need to iterate it and you can print all value – Shubham Jain Aug 09 '17 at 14:56
