from selenium          


        

Answer 1

The username and password fields are within an frame, so you have to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

• You can use the following solution:

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  
  driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe')
  driver.get("http://sugang.korea.ac.kr")
  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.NAME,"firstF")))
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input.input_login[name='id']"))).send_keys('abc')
  driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input.input_login[name='pw']").send_keys("cdef")
