driver.findElement(By.xpath("(.//[@href='Apply Now'])")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='Apply Now']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Apply Now")).click();
driver.findElement(By.className("Apply Now")).click(); 
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class,'btn btn-success btn-lg')]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class,'btn btn-success btn-lg')]")).click();v

Answer 1

Try to click with webdriver wait till element is properly loaded in Dom and ready to receive click.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 40);

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[.='Apply Now']"))).click();

Answer 2

Option 1 Try By.CssSelector Option 2 Not sure if you are checking if element is exists before clicking on it.if not then use wait.until. If possible paste error you are getting here. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

The desired element is a dynamic element so to locate and click() on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• linkText:

  new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkText("Apply Now"))).click();
  

• cssSelector:

  new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("a.btn.btn-success.btn-lg[href*='associateregistration']"))).click();
  

• xpath:

  new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[@class='btn btn-success btn-lg' and contains(@href, 'associateregistration')][text()='Apply Now']"))).click();
