How to click this button, no name or id?

[Chris Green]

I want to click a button whose code is:-

<button class="action__button" type="button" title="">

There isn't an obvious way to click() the button. Any ideas?

Hi Chris, can you provide the complete code to the button? If you can come up with a CSS selector that only returns this button, then we can automate clicking it.

Here's the code:-

<div class="identify-action-btn">
<div data-pl="initialized" class="action action--primary action--authentication">

<button class="action__button" type="button" title="">

Continue
</button>
</div>
</div>

I guess that identify-action-btn is probably unique on the page, the
other 'action action--primary action--authentication' is too I guess
but it's a bit of a mouthful! :-)

It is the only button on the page but there are other text fields and
drop-down selectors.

Try this JS rule:

let elButton = document.querySelector('.identify-action-btn button');

if (elButton) {

  elButton.click();

Worked perfectly, thank you. It's a good template for other similar
things too.

Yeah, someone on here once automated entire supremenewyork.com checkout flow using JS rules to help them get in on the drops. Another person was able to automate their Craigslist business. I never imagined these uses -- people are so creative!
