Python Selenium on Chrome | find active element name

April 15, 2022, at 8:30 PM

I’m trying to get the name of the active element through selenium.

After clicking a button, a pop-up input field appears ready to accept text.

Basically I’ve tried every way possible to find this input field after clicking the button to send keys to. The html is so messy that I’ve had no luck.

But I’m able to get the text to the input field using

driver.switch_to.active_element

My question is, if there anyway to get the actual name or iD or any info in what this active element is? I’ve tried to print it too but got a random sequence of numbers.
