Hello Selenium!

`driver`


#How to specify an element
#driver.find_element_by_id('ID')
#driver.find_element_by_class_name('CLASS_NAME')
#driver.find_element_by_name('NAME')
#driver.find_element_by_css_selector('CSS_SELECTOR')
#driver.find_element_by_xpath('XPath')
#driver.find_element_by_link_text('LINK_TEXT')

#Manipulating elements
#driver.find_element_by_id('ID').click()
#el = driver.find_element_by_id('ID')
#driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", el)
#driver.find_element_by_id('ID').send_keys('STRINGS')
#driver.find_element_by_id('ID').text
#driver.find_element_by_id('ID').get_attribute('ATTRI_NAME')
#driver.find_element_by_id('ID').clear()

#Page operation
#driver.back()
#driver.forward()
#driver.refresh()
#driver.close()
#driver.quit()
