Question

I can type text into a field using WebElement.sendKeys() but editing doesn’t work: I can neither move the cursor nor delete the last character that I typed with e.sendKeys( Keys.BACK_SPACE )

How do I modify the value of a text field in Selenium 2 (WebDriver)?

Answer 1

You can definitely do that by either of the two methods. I have tried and it works.

e.click()   # Positions the cursor at the end of the string
e.sendKeys(Keys.BACK_SPACE )

Or you could simply clear the text, and start over again:

e.clear()
e.sendKeys("What you want to send")
