Question

I’ve been trying to fill some inputboxes with data using the following code:

        GeckoHtmlElement checkElement = null;
        GeckoDocument checkDoc = GeckowebBrowser.Window.Document;                        
        checkElement = checkDoc.GetHtmlElementById("username");
        if (checkElement!=null)
            {
                checkElement.InnerHtml = username;
            }

The above code finds the correct element and sets InnerHtml to ‘username’ but I get nothing on the screen. Using breakpoints I confirmed that the InnerHtml was changed according to the plan. I also tried changing .TextContent (instead of .InnerHtml) but the result was the same. The Html code goes like this:

<input id="username" class="inputboxclass" type="text" name="myusername">

I use C# winforms .NET 4.5 and geckoFX 16 (XulRunner 16).

Edit: Here is the code that works (thanks to RENE Victor’s suggestion)

checkElement.SetAttribute("value", username);

Put this code in a standalone text file and open it in a browser:

<input type="text" value="5">fdfuhsi</input>

As you see you want to modify the vale, not the InnerHtml.
