'sendKeys' are not working in Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am not able to put any value in my application using WebDriver. My application is using frames.

I am able to clear the value of my textbox with driver.findEle

Answer 1

I had a similar problem too, when I used

getDriver().findElement(By.id(idValue)).clear();
getDriver().findElement(By.id(idValue)).sendKeys(text);

The value in "text" was not completely written into the input. Imagine that "Patrick" sometimes write "P" another "Pat",...so the test failed

The fix is a workaround and uses JavaScript:

((JavascriptExecutor)getDriver()).executeScript("$('#" + idValue + "').val('" + value + "');");

Now it is fine.

Instead of

driver.findElement(By.id("idValue")).sendKeys("text");

use,

((JavascriptExecutor)getDriver()).executeScript("$('#" + "idValue" + "').val('" + "text" + "');");

This worked for me.
