Handling Checkboxes and Radio Buttons in Selenium 

✅ 1. Setup Requirements

Install Selenium if you haven’t already:


bash

Copy

Edit

pip install selenium

✅ 2. Sample HTML for Practice (Example)

html

Copy

Edit

<input type="checkbox" id="subscribe" name="subscribe" value="newsletter">

<label for="subscribe">Subscribe to newsletter</label>


<input type="radio" id="male" name="gender" value="male">

<label for="male">Male</label>

<input type="radio" id="female" name="gender" value="female">

<label for="female">Female</label>

✅ 3. Python Selenium Code

python

Copy

Edit

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

import time


# Start the browser

driver = webdriver.Chrome()


# Load a sample web page (use your own local or test URL)

driver.get("https://example.com/form")  # Replace with the actual URL


# Wait for elements to load (optional)

time.sleep(2)


# --------- Handling Checkbox ---------

checkbox = driver.find_element(By.ID, "subscribe")


# Select the checkbox if it's not already selected

if not checkbox.is_selected():

    checkbox.click()

    print("✅ Checkbox selected.")

else:

    print("ℹ️ Checkbox was already selected.")


# --------- Handling Radio Buttons ---------

radio_male = driver.find_element(By.ID, "male")

radio_female = driver.find_element(By.ID, "female")


# Select a radio button

radio_female.click()

print("✅ Female radio button selected.")


# Check if a radio button is selected

if radio_female.is_selected():

    print("🔎 Female is selected.")

else:

    print("⚠️ Female is not selected.")


# Close the browser

driver.quit()

🔍 Explanation:

is_selected() checks whether a checkbox or radio button is selected.


.click() toggles the state (for checkboxes) or selects (for radio buttons).


Ensure you use the correct element locators (By.ID, By.NAME, etc.).
