Getting web element position and size

You can find the position of an element with Selenium by first using a find method to look for the element, then using the location attribute, which is a dictionary that contains x and y coordinates.

# assume we have selenium browser set up as the namespace browser

my_el = browser.find_element_by_id('id_my_el')
location = my_el.location['x']		# Returns horizontal position

To find the size of an element, use the size attribute, which is also a dictionary with the keys 'width' and 'height'.

width = my_el['width']		# Returns width of the element
