Answer 1

We can't work with incomplete code unless it is itself a fully functional one. The code you provided here cannot be read without previous lines.
Also, please specify the language you're using in the tags please.

Answer 3

Cindy Hernandez it's okay, you don't have to paste it. Go to code playground and write it there, and save it.
Then, go back to this post, click edit, and insert your code here (there should be a little insert button at the bottom after you click edit)

Answer 4

Answer 8

Cindy Hernandez I think I know where the problem is, the driver.find_element_by_name("Enter2") returns a list, and not the element itself. Therefore, the line that generates the error is this:
login_button.click()

If there is only one element with the name Enter2, then change that line to this:
login_button[0].click()

Does the problem still occur ?

Answer 9

Cindy Hernandez then do as I said. Share the code, and give more info.
