Selenium Python Help Getting element of a form

Question

Iv been trying to get the form elements on this website and for some reason I cant get them. Iv tried every way I can think of. I would really appreciate some help.

Here is my latest attempt

inputs = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@type='text']")

Here is the website.

Thanks in advance.

Edit : Github link for project

Edit : Ok so I found out that if you go straigt to website that the btn points to then it works. So I am assuming that slenium does not automaticly update to the HTML of the current page. How does one do this?

What is the error what you get and and you show some more code? — robertkovacs

The xpath seems fine. I am able to find elements in DevTools. What exactly is the problem? — Mate Mrše

I think element Id id dynamic value.Try some other attribute which is static on the page.It should work. — KunduK

if you are getting 'NoSuchElementException', try using conditional wait before you do find_element. When you are loading another page wait until the element is visible and can be interacted. Guide for that is here

check if the element is inside in iform, if so use

driver.switchTo().frame("framename")

EDIT

Focus on something unique in the tag. For your example use the class name used in the div. Do not use the ID tag identifier as it changes over time.

//*[contains(@class, 'ginput_container ginput_container_text')]/following::*[contains(text(),'Email')]/following::div[1]/descendant::input
