Check box is not checked using xpath, it opens link

Please see attached screen shots

xpath "//div[@id='divTermsNdConditions']/div/div/div/label"

If use input id 'IsAgreeToNorms' then element is not visible/reachable.

Xpath should be

"//div[@id='divTermsNdConditions']/div/div/div/input"


but why not use the ID of checkbox like this:

//input[@id='IsAgreeToNorms']


And if you use webdriver in a Java/python context, you do not even have to use XPath but locate the element straight by id.

If the element is not "visible/reachable", then it is not a problem related to location but may be due to page logic or a timing issue. From the information given, it is impossible to say.

You can try to click it with Explicit Wait,

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//input[@data-val-required="Your String Value"]")));


You can use any attribute value if its unique,

//input[@data-val-required="Your attribute Value"]
//input[@name="Your attribute Value"]


You can also use, ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable

ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable
