python selenium click on button

I am quite new to python selenium and I am trying to click on a button which has the following html structure:

<div class="b_div">

    <div class="button c_button s_button" onclick="submitForm('mTF')">
        <input class="very_small" type="button"></input>
        <div class="s_image"></div>
        <span>
           Search
        </span>
    </div>

    <div class="button c_button s_button" onclick="submitForm('rMTF')" style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
        <input class="v_small" type="button"></input>
        <span>
              Reset
        </span>
   </div>

</div>

I would like to be able to click both the Search and Reset buttons above (obviously individually).

I have tried a couple of things, for example:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.button .c_button .s_button').click()

or,

driver.find_element_by_name('s_image').click()

or,

driver.find_element_by_class_name('s_image').click()

but, I seem to always end up with NoSuchElementException, for example:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: u'Unable to locate element: {"method":"name","selector":"s_image"}' ;

I am wondering if I can somehow use the onclick attributes of the HTML to make selenium click?

Any thoughts which can point me in the right direction would be great. Thanks.

Remove space between classes in css selector:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.button .c_button .s_button').click()
#                                           ^         ^

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.button.c_button.s_button').click()

try this:

download firefox, add the plugin "firebug" and "firepath"; after install them go to your webpage, start firebug and find the xpath of the element, it unique in the page so you can't make any mistake.

See picture: instruction

browser.find_element_by_xpath('just copy and paste the Xpath').click()

For python, use the

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

and

ActionChains(browser).click(element).perform()

open a website https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/compilation and click on button to download the file and even i want to close the pop up if it comes using python selenium

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options 

#For Mac - If you use windows change the chromedriver location
chrome_path = '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")

driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/compilation")

# driver.get("https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/")
# tabName = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Investment Adviser Data")
# tabName.click()

time.sleep(3)

# report1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='compilation-container ng-scope layout-column flex']//div[1]//div[1]//div[1]//div[2]//button[1]")

report1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@analytics-label='IAPD - SEC Investment Adviser Report (GZIP)']")

# print(report1)
report1.click()

time.sleep(5)

driver.close()
