Python Selenium Find Element by Name

Question

I am using Python Selenium and am trying to select in input box that does not have an ID

<div class="form-group"><input type="email" class="form-control" name="quantity" placeholder="Type a quantity"></div>

inputElement = driver.find_element_by_id("quantity")

What is the best way to select this element, by name?

Solution

find_element_by_name() method would fit here:

driver.find_element_by_name("quantity")

The answer is almost in the title ;)

now this is deprecated, use ind_element(by=By.NAME, value=name) instead
