[FIXED] Clicking Submit button doesn't respond to selenium vba

Issue

I have a form that I fill with some data and everything is OK till I tried to click on Submit button. It doesn't respond at all Here's the outHTML of the element

<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary commandButton" value="إرسال  الطلــب" id="cmdSubmit">

I tried these lines

.ExecuteScript "arguments[0].click();", .FindElementByCss("#cmdSubmit")

I even tried byID and byXPATH and nothing worked with the element

While inspecting the webpage, I have searched for submit and I think I found related function

<script>
            $('#frmExecReq').submit(function(){ // catch form submit event
            
                if($('#selectAsed').val() <= 0){
                    $('#selectAsedWarninig').show();
                    return false;
                }

                    $('#phoneNoWarninig').show();
                    return false;
                }

When trying this line, an error occurred

.FindElementByXPath("//input[@class='btn btn-primary commandButton' and @id=='dSubmit'][@vlaue='إرسال  الطلــب']").Click

Solution

To click on the element you can use either of the following locator strategies:

• Using FindElementByCss:

  .FindElementByCss("input.btn.btn-primary.commandButton#cmdSubmit").click
  

• Using FindElementByXPath:

  .FindElementByXPath("//input[@class='btn btn-primary commandButton' and @id='cmdSubmit']").click
