Unable to locate element no such element
#1
<td> 
    <div class="input-icon">
        <i class="fa fa-user"></i>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            if (getQueryStringParameter("Back") == 1) {                        
                document.write("<input class='form-control placeholder-no-fix' type='text' autocomplete='off' placeholder='User ID' name='tempusername' id='username' autocomplete='off' size='14' maxlength='12' value='' /> <input type='hidden' name='username'>");
            } else {
                document.write("<input class='form-control placeholder-no-fix' type='text' autocomplete='off' placeholder='User ID' name='tempusername'  autocomplete='off' size='14' maxlength='12' value='' /><input type='hidden' name='username'>");
            }
        </script>
        <input class="form-control placeholder-no-fix" type="text" autocomplete="off" placeholder="User ID" name="tempusername" size="14" maxlength="12" value=""><input type="hidden" name="username">
    </div>
 </td>
Capture

time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_name('//*[@id="LoginId"]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td/div/input[1]').send_keys("username1")
I did tried wait 20 seconds which is more than enough to let the page finish loaded.
But the result still same. I also tried get the element by name but result the same tho.
Please advise.

Can you post a little bit more of your html ? or at least so that we can verify your xpath is correct? I can't see element with id 'LoginId' for example.

Yeah and also your traceback says you are using xpath method but in your code sample you are trying to find element by name?
driver.find_element_by_name('//*[@id="LoginId"]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td/div/input[1]').send_keys("username1") 
should be
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="LoginId"]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td/div/input[1]').send_keys("username1")

are you sure this is right?
tr[3]
Can you post the link to the site so we can check to see if there is anything else?

That link does not work for me. But if i remove the 2 from www i go to their home page. And if i try to login i get this. IS that the correct location?
   

If so then i get for xpath for that login field is...
/html/body/div[1]/form/table/tbody/tr[3]/td/div/input[1]
