Selenium Pythonanywhere Cannot Locate Element

Question

Anyone have any advice for locating elements on python anywhere using xvfb-run ? I get the driver up and display using the following code but when I try and locate an element by path I get cannot find element. This code works fine on my local machine. The driver does successfully navigate to lmcu.org when I print the url of the browser.

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
display = Display(visible=0,size=(800,600))
display.start()
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get("http://www.lmcu.org")
usr = browser.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[@id='LoginName']")

A useful debugging tool is to print the body text of the page you're looking at so you can verify that you're getting the page that you expect.

answer found….Pythonanywhere only allows you to access the elements from their whitelist* websites. Need to upgrade my account. Thanks.
