Hi, I am trying to click on an element using LinkText.
Eg: myelement = driver.FindElement(By.LinkText(StoreFile)) 'Click on report by name

                logger.Debug("Report Found as " & myelement.Text)

                If myelement Is Nothing Then

                    GoTo endTry

                Else

                    myelement.Click()

                    logger.Debug("Report clicked is " & StoreFile)

                End If

But, I get the following error:

The Error Is OpenQA.Selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

Is there a reason as to why it can’t find the element using the LinkText even though the element is visible on the web page? Is there a solution to resolve this, please?
