Ensure that the ID used is unique within the HTML document to avoid selecting the wrong element.
Use By.ID instead of deprecated alternatives like find_element_by_id for cleaner, future-proof code.
Always verify that the element is present and visible on the page before attempting to interact with it to prevent runtime errors.
Use explicit waits (WebDriverWait) when working with elements that may load asynchronously.
Make sure the ID attribute in the HTML is correctly spelled and matches exactly with the ID provided in your Selenium script.
Update your Selenium WebDriver regularly to ensure compatibility with the latest browser versions, which can affect how elements are identified.
Check for changes in the web page structure during development, as dynamic content might alter element IDs.
Avoid using deprecated methods like `find_element_by_id` and stick to `find_element(By.ID, "id")` to future-proof your code.
