I've tried using waits and Javascript Executor but no luck for this error. Below is my code I am using :

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class MailTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        
        
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:/chromedriver.exe");
        
         WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        
        driver.get("testUrl");
         
        
        //Maximizing window
         driver.manage().window().maximize();
         
         driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body/div[@id='offer--modal']/div[1]/div[2]/p[1]")).click();
         Thread.sleep(10000);
         
         WebElement Name = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='name']"));
         Name.sendKeys("test"); 
         
         WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='email']"));
         email.sendKeys("[email protected]");
         
         
         WebElement Subject = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='subject']"));
         Subject.sendKeys("Testing");
         
         driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Mobile Development')]")).click();
         driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Application Development')]")).click();
         
         driver.findElement(By.xpath("//textarea[@id='message']")).sendKeys("testing for automation");
    
        
     WebElement Sendbutton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body/div[4]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/section[1]/div[1]/form[1]/div[7]/input[1]"));
         JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
         executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", Sendbutton);
         
         
        // driver.close();
         
    }

}

Above script works fine till submit button I am trying to get clicked. Also, I feel that maybe the problem is with the xpath of submit button. I am using chropath for finding xpaths.

@Ghazal shukla If the element’s center point is obscured by another element, an element click intercepted error is returned, Can you check your xpath once or add the html here — YaDav MaNish

The XPath which you are using is pretty much dynamic and it is never suggested to use the XPath with indexes. There must be some attribute with which you can write the xpath for submit button.

Your xpath could be something like-

> //button[@class='submit']

Your xpath could be improved to something like:

//input[@value='Send']

But the real problem is this button is blocked (as noted by the ElementClickInterceptedException) by this element:

<span class="desktop-text">...</span>

So we either need to dismiss this window, or we can hide this element by doing this:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='desktop-text']"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('display', 'none')", element);

and then try our click:

WebElement Sendbutton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='Send']"));
Sendbutton.click()
