How do I find the element by class name for a button on Chrome?

Question

I want to try make a script that auto-clicks a button, but I can't find what to put in the class name. How do I find it?

window.onload=function(){
    setInterval(autoClick,100);
  }
  function autoClick(){
    if(document.getElementsByClassName("???").length>0){
    document.getElementsByClassName("???")[0].click();
  }
}

I don't know how to get the element by class name.

Does your button has a class assigned? Post you HTML. – Francisco Hanna May 11 '19 at 20:01 — Francisco Hanna, May 11 '19 at 20:01

If you're trying to click with coordinates use document.elementFromPoint(x, y).click();

If you are using Chrome, open up the inspector, inspect the element you want to click. Right click over the element in the Elements panel and then scroll down to Copy > Copy JS Path and then paste the result. It should be a querySelector for that specific element.
