How to locate an element in a table list row

I am trying to automate salesforce, however i am having some trouble with the locators. I am using Python and selenium webdriver to do this.

I am trying to click on this element (snippet given):

< th scope = "row"
class = " dataCell  cellCol1 " > < a href = "javascript:srcUp(%27%2F0019E00000SLiUQ%3FsrPos%3D0%26srKp%3D001%26isdtp%3Dvw%27);"
data - seclke = "Account"
data - seclkh = "73556054e04c9691f20b5b34809356fd"
data - seclki = "0019E00000SLiUQ"
data - seclkp = "/0019E00000SLiUQ"
data - seclkr = "1"
onmousedown = "searchResultClick.mousedown(this, event)" > Harris Kemp < /a></th >

however, for some reason it can't locate it.

I have tried different solutions that i found online and none of them seem to work.

Here is my code:

driver.switch_to.frame(1)
    # driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_id("history-iframe"))
    # mouseDown() // i entered the location of the element here
    # pyautogui.click() // i entered the location of the element here

Here is another way that I tried:

    elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@data-seclkr='1']")
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", elem)

I have used all different xpaths available and it still won't click on it.

It would be really grateful if someone could help out please.

I have attached the full html body image here

To locate the "Edit" element, you could do:

elem1= driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td[@class='actionColumn']")
elem1.find_element_by_xpath(".//a[@class='actionLink']").click()

if you want to click "Harris Kemp", try:

elem1= driver1.find_element_by_xpath("//th[@scope='row']")
elem1.find_element_by_xpath(".//a[@data-seclke='Account' and text()='Harris Kemp']").click()

Can you pick a simple a tag from the site and try something like the below?

Let's say that this is the HTML script:

<div id='a'>
  <div>
    <a class='click'>abc</a>
  </div>
</div>

your python script should be:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@id='a']//a[@class='click']")

The output should be:

<a class="click">abc</a>

and then try to put the .click() in the end of your python code
