JavaScript in Selenium (Python) Cheat Sheet

Basic Syntax
• driver.execute_script(script, *args)
• driver.execute_async_script(script, *args)

- Pass Python args as arguments[0], arguments[1], etc.


- Use 'return' to get a value back from JS.

Examples
1. Run simple JS:
driver.execute_script("alert('Hello!');")

2. Get page title:


title = driver.execute_script("return [Link];")

3. Pass Python variable:


driver.execute_script("return 'Hi ' + arguments[0];", name)

4. Scroll page:
driver.execute_script("[Link](0, [Link]);")

5. Click element:
el = driver.find_element("id", "btn")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", el)

6. Set input value:


driver.execute_script("[Link]('input').value='test';")

7. Get all links:


driver.execute_script("return [Link]([Link]('a')).map(a=>[Link]);")

Async Script Syntax


driver.execute_async_script(''' var done = arguments[0]; setTimeout(function() { done("Async
Done!"); }, 2000); ''')

Common JS Snippets
- Scroll by pixels: [Link](0, 300)
- Scroll to element: arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true)
- Highlight: arguments[0].[Link]='2px solid red'
- Change style: arguments[0].[Link]='yellow'
- Return page text: return [Link]

Best Practices
✓ Always use return to get data back.
✓ Escape quotes properly when embedding JS.
✓ Use triple quotes (""" ... """) for multiline JS.
✓ Keep JS short and focused.
✓ Use execute_async_script for fetch/setTimeout/callbacks.
