I need to Send ALT+S Key event using Selenium Web Driver for an “EditBox.

  • 0

I need to Send ALT+S Key event using Selenium Web Driver for an “EditBox. Cursor Position is already set to EditBox I am using following code

driver.switchTo().activeElement().sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.ALT+"S"))

but it’s not giving me desired result. It’s Typing character 'S' in the Edit Box.
I have tried another code but got the same result.

Actions action =new Actions(driver);
action.keyDown(Keys.ALT).sendKeys(String.valueOf('\u0053')).perform();

Thanks in Advance

I want to Add one more thing here. The code is working Properly in Firefox 12 but its not working properly in IE9

    Cross-browser issues are rather hard to investigate as they are specific to particular driver and not WebDriver API.

    Another variant that might work.

    driver.findElement(By.xpath("your editbox's XPath")).sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.ALT, "s"));

    As workaround I might recommend to take a look to AutoIT (Official site) or Robot (Java Doc)
