Selenium webdriver JS doesn't click buttons after page has changed

I am testing my web application. I search for upload button and select file. Uploading changes URL of the page:

driver.findElement(By.id('upload')).click();
var upload = driver.findElement(By.id('files'));
var testDocAbsPath = getTestDocAbsPath('1run.docx');
upload.sendKeys(testDocAbsPath);

After this action I can't click buttons any more:

For example this one doesn't have any effect:

driver.findElement(By.id('btnId')).click();

while such button really presents on the new page. Probably some cache is not updated. How can I solve this?

What happens when you try to click the buttons? Does it throw any error? – Vikas Ojha Sep 12 '15 at 17:43

@VikasNehaOjha nothing happens during second click. Mahsum, your link doesn't address my question – Stepan Yakovenko Sep 13 '15 at 00:00
Have you tried putting a sleep of say 5 or 10 seconds after `upload.sendKeys(testDocAbsPath);` to make sure that the upload is complete and js has been fully executed? – Vikas Ojha Sep 13 '15 at 06:03
@VikasNehaOjha, there is no way to put sleep in js async driver. – Stepan Yakovenko Sep 21 '15 at 04:09
