What I learned new this week (week 17)

  1. In binary, the digit that is farthest to the right is called the Least Significant Bit (LSB) and the left-most digit is called the Most Significant Bit (MSB).

  2. In Python Selenium, we can take screenshot of entire web page using the screenshot() method of the driver.


from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Edge()
driver.get('https://dshaw0004.netlify.app')
driver.screenshot('dshaw0004.png')

driver.quit()
  1. Also we can take screenshot of any specific element by using its screenshot() method.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Edge()
driver.get('https://dshaw0004.netlify.app')

welcome = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div.welcomeSection')
welcome.screenshot('welcome-to-dshaw0004.png')

driver.quit()

  1. I recently learned that we can disable the scripts, forms, popups of an iframe embedded webpage just by using sandbox="" attribute.

  2. In HTML, output tag is generally used to output simple form result, calculation etc.

That’s it for this week. Meeting you next week.
