💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'class' instead of 'id' when the button's id attribute is needed.

Using 'name' or 'type' which may not uniquely identify the button.

The XPath expression uses the attribute id to locate the button with id='submit'.

Selenium Python

placeholders = [1]: [2] for [3] in inputs if [3].get_attribute('required') is not None}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ainput.get_attribute('name')

Binput.get_attribute('placeholder')

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'element' instead of 'input' as the loop variable.

Mixing up keys and values in the dictionary comprehension.

This comprehension creates a dictionary where keys are input names and values are their placeholder text, only for inputs marked as required.
