Selenium Webdriver: Entering text into text field

Question

When I enter text into the text field it gets removed.

Here is the code:

String barcode=\"0000000047166\";

WebElement element_enter = _driver.findEl         


        

Answer 1

It might be the JavaScript check for some valid condition.
Two things you can perform a/c to your requirements:

1. either check for the valid string-input in the text-box.
2. or set a loop against that text box to enter the value until you post the form/request.

String barcode="0000000047166";

WebElement strLocator = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='div-barcode']"));
strLocator.sendKeys(barcode);
