## ElementNotInteractableException

This exception occurs when Selenium tries to interact with an element that is not interactable in its current state.

### Likely Cause

1. **Unsupported Operation**: Performing an action, like `sendKeys`, on an element that doesn’t support it (e.g., `<form>` or `<label>`).
2. **Multiple Elements Matching Locator**: The locator targets a non-interactable element, such as a `<td>` tag, instead of the intended `<input>` field.
3. **Hidden Elements**: The element is present in the DOM but not visible on the page due to CSS, the `hidden` attribute, or being outside the visible viewport.

### Possible Solutions

1. Use actions appropriate for the element type (e.g., use `sendKeys` with `<input>` fields only).
2. Ensure locators uniquely identify the intended element to avoid incorrect matches.
3. Check if the element is visible on the page before interacting with it. Use scrolling to bring the element into view, if required.
4. Use explicit waits to ensure the element is interactable before performing actions.

## ElementNotInteractableException

当 Selenium 尝试与当前状态下无法交互的元素进行交互时,会发生此异常。

### 可能的原因

1. **不支持的操作**:尝试对不支持操作的元素执行操作,例如对 `<form>` 或 `<label>` 使用 `sendKeys`。
2. **多个元素匹配定位器**:定位器匹配到非可交互的元素,例如 `<td>` 标签,而不是目标的 `<input>` 字段。
3. **隐藏的元素**:元素存在于 DOM 中,但由于 CSS、`hidden` 属性或元素超出可见视口范围而不可见。

### 可能的解决方案

1. 根据元素类型使用适当的操作(例如,仅对 `<input>` 字段使用 `sendKeys`)。
2. 确保定位器唯一标识目标元素,以避免错误匹配。
3. 在与元素交互之前,检查其是否在页面上可见。如果需要,将元素滚动到视图中。
4. 使用显式等待以确保元素在执行操作前可交互。
