Question

has anyone solved this?

Whenever I have submit button, I have to go in workaround and send keys “Enter” to it. To be more specific:

 WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
 driver.get("my-test-site");
 WebElement confirmBid = driver.findElement(By.id("mainForm:aucPanelId:1:finishEditBid"));
 confirmBid.click();

does not work, nothing happens, value is not confirmed. However, if I change the last to:

 Keys enter = Keys.ENTER;
 confirmBid.sendKeys(enter.toString());

Works fine and the form is submitted.

However, the click(); command works fine on links.

Any idea why is that like this?

I have had some problems with that myself at times. Not sure why it happens but you can use…

confirmBid.sendKeys(Keys.enter);

to make it a little cleaner.
