Selenium Python bindings: how to execute JavaScript on an element?

Question

Have used python selenium script to trigger selenium server to run JavaScript code. It works fine.

drv.execute_script(\'\')

Answer 1

execute_script accepts arguments, so you can pass the element:

drv.execute_script('arguments[0].setAttribute("style", "color: yellow; border: 2px solid yellow;")', ele)

Answer 2

Thanks to the answer by @Richard who led me in the right direction and Brian's link (even thought it's for java) who helped me to figure out the meaning of "arguments".

The following code will do what I need.

ele = get_element_by_xpath('//button[@id="xyzw"]');
drv.execute_script('arguments[0].setAttribute("style", "color: yellow; border: 2px solid yellow;")', ele)
