Firefox not loading page after visiting permalink #2

Closed yor-mah-daddy closed 7 years ago

[FIXED] Edit: I don't know what I did, but it seems to work now with the permalinks, before Firefox wouldn't load permalinks but that seemed to be a Firefox issue rather than an issue with python. Everything works fine now thanks! Just one question!

What would I alter in the upvoter.py code to turn it into a downvoter.py ?

I assume it's under:

browser.find_element_by_css_selector( ), but what would the new parameters be for locating the downvote button rather than the upvote?

Thank you!

Glad you figured it out! If something doesn't click correctly in selenium or you would like to click a different way you can use inspect element in your browser and browser.find_element_by_css_selector() to find that element.

For example on the permalink page you can right click the upvote button>inspect element>right click highlighted section>copy>css selector. and you'll get something like this

div.midcol:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(1)

For comments I use permalink because depending on where the comment is located on a page the css selector will change. Through permalink it will always be located in the same spot.
