Unable to find "Button" with Selenium in C#

I have got a problem with Selenium code to find a button which has only "Value" and "type", in inspection it looks like this:
<input type="sumbit" value="login" />
Image of inspection
I tried twice but neither line worked for me.
The lines:
1st solution:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[contains(text(),'Login')]")).Click();
2nd solution:
driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("submit")).Click();
Image with ERROR MESSAGE (second line error)
Can anybody help me, or at least point out what am I missing, because its getting pretty frustrating to find a solution for such common thing, I practiced this on tutorial pages and buttons were never a problem.
Please. (Sorry for my English)
P.s.: I checked the "similar questions and I haven't found the solution.
P.s.s: Guys, there is another one which I didnt try yet but I have 3 different lines of code, do you think one of them will work:
There is drop-down list and I want to select the last thing in the list...
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[contains(., 'Process Data >>')]"));
driver.FindElement(By.Id("pdatasub")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[text()='Process Data >>']")).Click();
Inspection of the Drop-down list
Code for the opening of the last "button" in the drop-down list:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[text()='Final Values']")).Click();
enter link description here
Thanks guys for help !

You are using the wrong locator :
try this instead :
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//input[#type='submit' and #value='Login']")).Click();
or
With ExplicitWaits
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//input[#type='submit' and #value='Login']"))).Click();

Your locator is wrong.
You can use this:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[#type='submit']")).Click();
or
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[#value='login']")).Click();
or
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[#value='login' and #type='submit']")).Click();
CSS Selector can be used as well similarly.
Also there are several possible issues:
You should add a wait before accessing that element. Otherwise you are trying to find an element while page is still not loaded. Expected conditions are the preferred way to do this with.
The element can be inside an iframe. If so you have to switch to that iframe in order to access elements inside it.

Selenium: Finding page element in WordPress

Ok, this should be easy, but I cannot seem to figure it out:
How do I identify and access the new post area (from the Dashboard) in WordPress, using selenium in VS/.Net?
I can access the title field easily by ID, like this:
Driver.Instance.FindElement(By.Id("title")).SendKeys("Sometitle");
But, looking at the page source, I cannot figure out how to access the post body.
In recent versions, I believe, there was an iframe, and it could be accessed like this:
Driver.Instance.SwitchTo().Frame("content_ifr");
Driver.Instance.SwitchTo().ActiveElement().SendKeys(body);
...but this doesn't work anymore, and looking at the source it seems that this has been changed.
So - does anyone know how to do this in recent versions of WordPress?
EDIT: It turns out that I was wrong; there IS indeed an iframe named "content_ifr". So the new question is: Why doesn't the above code work? It's supposed to switch the focus to the content frame, but it doesn't.

try
Driver.FindElement(By.XPath(""));
to find XPath in google chrome right click on element->Inspect element, then click on "Copy XPath".
Hope it helps!

WatiN finding link to click issue

I am attempting do some automated testing using WatiN and C#. There is a link on the page as an image with the html code
<TD height=27 vAlign=bottom align=right>
<A href="paymentdetailsupdate.do">
<IMG border=0 src="/images/update.gif" width=64 height=21></A></TD>
I just want to click the link but this is proving to be very challenging.
I have tried using following code
cloaspage.Element(Find.By("href", "paymentdetailsupdate.do"));
but it does not seem to work. It times out looking for the element. I have absolutely no idea why. I also can't edit the HTML to add an id or anything like that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I forgot to add in that I can find the link by going through the tables,tablerows, tablecells etc but this is very time consuming and not practical in case of html changes.

Have you tried :
Link link = cloaspage.Link(Find.ByUrl("paymentdetailsupdate.do"));
link.Click();
Probably the same result but you should give it a try...

Click Gmail Refresh button

I am writing a simple personal app that has a browser control and I want it to automatically "Refresh" gmail to check it more often than it does by default. There are monkey scripts that do this but I'm trying to add my personal style to it.
Anyhow, I've looked around and found everything but what I can do in csharp using the browser control.
I found this:
// Link the ID from the web form to the Button var
theButton = webBrowser_Gmail.Document.GetElementById("Refresh");
// Now do the actual click.
theButton.InvokeMember("click");
But it comes back with null in 'theButton' so it doesn't invoke anything.
Anyone have any suggestions?

It's been awhile since I've used JavaScript, but given the other answers and comments that there is no real ID associated with the element, could you do something like the following:
Search all Div's with an attribute of Role == 'Button' and an InnerHtml == 'Refresh'.
Once the correct InnerHtml is found, get the Element.
Invoke the click on the found Element.
Again, this may be blowing smoke, but thought I'd throw it out there.
edit: Just realized you are doing this with C# and a browser control; however, the concept would still be the same.

The best suggestion I could give you at this point involves an existing API that is used for .NET web browser based automation:
http://watin.org/
Since the div tag with the desired button really only seems to identify itself with the class name, you could use the Find.BySelector(“”) code included with the most recent version of watin.

parsing html, source code, javascript problem

http://booking.travel24.com/index.php?KID=610000&&id=lmpergebnis&showresult=1&detail=zielgebiet&region=-1&ziel=-1&termin=20.02.2011&ruecktermin=17.03.2011&dauer=-1&abflughafen=46&personen=25;25&kategorie=-1&verpflegung=-1&zimmer=-1
I am trying to parse some HTML parts of this page, but when I check the source code I can not find this: "Tunesien, Marokko".
If I check with xdeveloper I can see this as html:
<a class="reglreg" href="javascript:s_hliste(20009);">Tunesien, Marokko</a>
but if i check source code of the page I can't find this. Why?

If you view the source and search for "Marokko" you will see there are several places where it occurs (loaded as data in several JavaScript arrays).
It appears as if some of the content is produced dynamically through the JavaScript loaded onto the page. That JavaScript builds HTML and changes the page to include the content you are looking for.

To answer your first real question
Why?
Because when you check the source code inside a browser, you'll get the original html code. Then javascript comes along and modify the DOM which you can follow in any modern browser's console.
can i get somehow whole source code
then? if i can not see it in browser
how can i see it?
To make it simple, it depends how you're trying to parse it. With what language?

maybe the data is coming via AJAX call, so it's not there on the html at the start, but dynamically added to it.
if you need to parse this, you can try to "emulate" the ajax call yourself.
