title: selenium python click on element nothing happens
body: <p>I am trying to click on the Gmail link on the Google frontpage in Selenium with the WebDriver on Python. My code basically replicates the one found here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16511059/why-cant-i-click-an-element-in-selenium">Why Cant I Click an Element in Selenium?</a></p>
  
  <p>My Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import selenium.webdriver as webdriver
  firefox = webdriver.Firefox()
  firefox.get("http://www.google.ca")
  element = firefox.find_element_by_xpath(".//a[@id='gb_23']")
  element.click()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The webdriver loads the page and then nothing happens. I've tried using the ActionChains and move_to_element(element), click(element), then perform() but nothing happens either.</p>
