Question

I have an input field like the following:

<input class="..." maxlength="..." title="..." size="..." value="..." name="..."/>

This looks like an text input field, but there is no type-attribute. I am trying to clear the content of the field and write something into it.

element.clear();
element.sendKeys("abc");

The problem is that both methods don’t work. I am asking myself if the missing type=”text”-attribute is the problem or not. If not, why does this not work?

Answer 1

Try using a click() on that element before clear() & sendKeys().
