How to let selenium edit an element

Question

I currently am writing a script for web automation but I want the program to edit an element for me here's a sample of the code I'm using

final = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//button[contains(text(),'Change profile name')]") final.click()

now it won't click it since the website has the element set it false so I want selenium to edit and make the element true so it can click it, is that possible by any chance and if so can anyone explain and thanks!

Heres what the elements HTML look like

button class="btn btn-disabled" type="submit" data-testid="ChangeNameButton" aria-describedby="changeNameFormError" aria-disabled="true" data-bi-type="button">Change profile name

so instead of btn disabled, I want it to change it to enabled then click it and thanks in advance for any help submitted :)

Answer 1

The button you are trying to click is disabled and you can enable it with JS.

Something like this:

final = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//button[contains(text(),'Change profile name')]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('className', 'btn-enabled');", final)

Answer 2

To change the text of an element do something like the following:

driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('theelement').innerHTML = 'changed text';");

To change or set attribute of element:

element =  driver.find_element_by_class_name("NAMEOFELEMENT"); 
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('color: blue;')", element);
