Working with Checkboxes in Selenium Webdriver in Python - Example

We can first see if the checkbox is selected using is_selected() method. Then using click method we can perform the operations such as selecting or deselecting the checkboxes as illustrated in the below example.

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.maximize_window()

driver.get("http://register.rediff.com/register/register.php")

try:

   

elem= driver.find_element_by_name("chk_altemail")

  

   if (elem.is_selected()):

       print("Checkbox is selected..now deselecting")

      elem.click()

   else:

       print("Checkbox is not selected..now selecting it")

      elem.click()

   

   driver.close()

except Exception as e:

    print ("Exception occured", format(e));

finally:

    driver.quit()

    print ("finally")
