How to click the button on the following website?

Question

I am new to the world of python and I am trying to select a couple of options on the following website and then click the search button to update results. However, I cannot get the button to respond.

I tried using search button.click() and .submit() and I have tried to implicitly wait. I have also used the code below to wait until the button is clickable. When executing the code, it highlights the button but doesn't seem to release the click; almost like a half click.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC


driver = webdriver.Safari()
driver.get('https://leasing.com/personal/car-leasing/')
element = driver.find_element_by_id('selUpfront')
select = Select(element)
select.select_by_value("3")
element = driver.find_element_by_id('selMileage')
select = Select(element)
select.select_by_value("8000")
searchbutton = WebDriverWait(driver,     20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "search-button")))
searchbutton.click()

I would expect the search results to be updated with the conditions above.

Seems you were close. To click() on the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#search-button>i.fa.fa-search#search-button-icon"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@id='search-button']/i[@class='fa fa-search' and @id='search-button-icon']"))).click()

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

There are 2 elements with the search-button you need to use the xpath to locate specific

searchbutton = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@id='search-button']")))
searchbutton.click()

Thanks, I tried this but the same issue happens in that it does not do anything on click - you can see the button highlight in blue, then return to orange as if it had been clicked, but it does not update the page with the filters selected.
