Hi,

On a webpage, there is an image, on clicking on it leads to another page. However, when I looked on the source (or Inspect Elements), I did not see any link there. Here is the source of that particular line:

HTML

<input type="image" name="main_0$contentleft_2$btn_Next" id="main_0_contentleft_2_btn_Next" vspace="10" Border="0" src="../../Images/button_next.gif" style="height:23px;width:71px;"/>

My question is: where is that link? I want to scrap the link using python.

Thanks.

What I have tried:

I googled but found no clue. As far as I know, there must be a link (href) to the image. Click on the image leads to another page but I could not find any link to image on the source page.

Solution 2

The

HTML

<input type="image">

is a graphical submit button. You must use the src attribute to define the source of the image and the alt attribute to define alternative text. The height and width attributes are used to define the size of the image in pixels.
It will just post the form
It is similar to

HTML

<input type="submit">

with an image into it.

Thanks. How do I get the link to the page which is obtained by clicking the image?

Alternatively, how do I get the page (source) after clicking the submit button?

it will do a post back, the redirection url code might be written in the server side..

Well, I am trying to scrap the page that is loaded by clicking that image, but I do not have any idea how to click that button in python.

Here is your link

src="../../Images/button_next.gif"

it is the source path for the image.

Well, it is the link to the image file, not the link to the page. if I open this link, it will open the image, not the next page.
