First, enter the id of the element in the locator field and press the “id" button. Next, press the “click" button.
If successful, the executed code of Python is displayed.

Inactive(pointer-events:none)

ElementClickInterceptedExceptionMessage: Element <input id="submit3" class="btn-submit" type="submit"> is not clickable at point (831,446) because it does not have pointer events enabled, and element <div> would receive the click instead
<traceback object at 0x000001CC524FF348>

Read-only(readonly)

Hidden(display:none)

Inactive(disabled)

There is no “disabled" attribute for <a> tag. That is invalid.

normal	OK	True	True	None
disabled	OK	True	True	None
pointer-events:none	Ex	True	True	None
readonly	OK	True	True	true

Hidden(display:none)

ElementNotInteractableExceptionMessage: Element <input id="textbox5" type="text"> is not reachable by keyboard
<traceback object at 0x000001A249B6EC88>

Result

Text	send_keys	get value	is_displayed	is_enabled	readonly
noraml	OK	OK	True	True	None
disabled	Ex	OK	True	False	None
pointer-events:none	OK	OK	True	True	None

Select

Inactive(disabled)

“<select>" is disabled, but “option2" was selected.
Not selectable manually.

Inactive(pointer-events:none)

Exception occurred

ElementClickInterceptedExceptionMessage: Element <select id="select3"> is not clickable at point (831,564) because it does not have pointer events enabled, and element <div> would receive the click instead
<traceback object at 0x000001A24CE14848>

Hidden(display:none)

Exception occurred

An empty character is returned.

Result

Select	select item	get selected item	is_displayed	is_enabled	readonly	note
normal	OK	OK	True	True	None
disabled	OK*	OK	True	False	None	*Not selectable manually
pointer-events:none	Ex	OK	True	True	None
readonly	OK	OK	True	True	true
display:none	Ex	NG*	False	True	None	*Empty is returned
visibility:hidden	Ex	NG*	False	True	None	*Empty is returned

Select(option)

Inactive(pointer-events:none)

“option2" is selected.

Hidden(display:none)

“option2" is hidden, but it can be selected.

“option2" is hidden, but “is_displayed()" is “True".

Hidden(visibility:hidden)

“option2" is selected.

In Firefox, it seems that “visibility:hidden" is invalid for “option" of “<select>".

Result

Select (option)	select item	get selected item	is_displayed	is_enabled	readonly	note
normal	OK	OK	True	True	None
disabled	NG	OK	True	False	None
pointer-events:none	OK	OK	True	True	None
readonly	OK	OK	True	True	true
display:none	OK*	OK	True	True	None	*Not selectable manually
visibility:hidden	OK	OK	True	True	None

 

Radio

Inactive(pointer-events:none)

ElementClickInterceptedExceptionMessage: Element <input id="radio_3" name="radio" type="radio"> is not clickable at point (800,389) because it does not have pointer events enabled, and element <div> would receive the click instead
<traceback object at 0x000001F89703BD48>

Hidden(display:none)

ElementNotInteractableExceptionMessage: Element <input id="radio_5" name="radio" type="radio"> could not be scrolled into view
<traceback object at 0x000001F89703B548>

You can check the radio by clicking label.

Result

Radio	click button	click label	get value	is_displayed	is_enabled	readonly
normal	OK	OK	OK	True	True	None
disabled	NG	NG	OK	True	False	None
pointer-events:none	Ex	OK	OK	True	True	None
readonly	OK	OK	OK	True	True	true
display:none	Ex	OK	OK	False	True	None
visibility:hidden	Ex	OK	OK	False	True	None

It was the same result as Radio.

normal	OK	OK	OK	True	True	None
disabled	NG	NG	OK	True	False	None
pointer-events:none	Ex	OK	OK	True	True	None
