How do I properly click an element in Selenium with Python?

Question

I am trying to click an element, for example "AH", in this page. I use the following code.

from selenium import webdriver

url = "http://www.oddsportal.com/soccer/brazil/serie-a/internacional-santos-vcGTTAKH/"
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)
element_to_click = driver.find_element_by_link_text("AH")
element_to_click.click()

The problem is that after the element is clicked and the new page is loaded, it goes back to the first page.

Answer 1

Focus the element and call click_and_hold action (worked for me):

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(element_to_click).click_and_hold(element_to_click).perform()
