selenium webdriver sendkeys() using python and firefox

Question

I am using selenium 2.25.0, firefox 3 and python 2.6.6. I am trying to run a selenium function which uses sendkeys():

Answer 1

your code looks odd. typically, you locate an element, and then do actions with it... rather than locating it each time.

try something like this:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
elem = driver.find_element_by_name('j_username')
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys('username')
