Python Selenium - How to click on a javascript button

Question

I am new to Python and Selenium. I have the following code for a button on my site and I am unable to click on it using

 driver.find_element_by_id("AddToBasket").click()

or

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@id='AddToCartButton']").click()

Hovering over the button just displays javascript:void(0)

So here is my Code

<div class="add"> <a href="javascript:void(0)" id="AddToBasket" class="addtobtn addtobag"> <span>Add to cart</span> </a>

Thanks.

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains self.driver = webdriver.Firefox() # You need a mouse to hover the span elements here self.mouse = webdriver.ActionChains(self.driver) # You need get the span element from its xpath: value = 'Add to cart' span_xpath = '//span[contains(text(), "' + value + '")]' span_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath(span_xpath) # Then you hover on span element by mouse and click on it: self.mouse.move_to_element(span_element).click().perform()
