How can I locate a onmouseover element using Selenium in Python?

I would follow the following steps to solve the given problem:

from selenium import webdriverfrom selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChainsdriver = webdriver.Firefox()driver.get("Your URL HERE")

locate your element (which you want to hover)

data = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="odds-data-table"]/div[1]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[4]')

after that hover the on element

hov = ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(data)hov.perform()

and fetch the data

data_in_the_bubble = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='tooltiptext']")hover_data = data_in_the_bubble.get_attribute("innerHTML")

javascript python selenium

You can use Javascript in your Selenium code. Check the answer here for an example: Running javascript in Selenium using Python

Then, using Javascript, you can trigger the onMouseOver event like shown in this thread: How to trigger mouseover function on an element when not really mouseovered

Once triggered you'll be able to locate the newly shown HTML content and get its text.

javascript python selenium

You can use xpath:

driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//*[@onmouseover]')

it will search all elements who have onmouseover attribute defined.

Waring, it won't work if the attribute is added by javascript with addEventListener

Hope that helps.
