Fix IllegalStateException
in Selenium
✅ Solution
The IllegalStateException in Selenium often arises when attempting to interact with a web element that is no longer attached to the DOM (Document Object Model), usually because the page has reloaded or the element has been dynamically removed. To resolve this, re-locate the element before interacting with it, ensuring you are working with the current instance in the DOM. Consider using explicit waits with expected conditions like `presence_of_element_located` or `visibility_of_element_located` to guarantee the element is available and stable before interaction.
