Simulate TAB keypress event in Selenium RC

Question

I need to simulate a tab keypress in Selenium RC, using the Java API.

I do this after having entered some text using:

selenium.type(input, \"mytext\");
<         


        

Answer 1

Improvising Ryley's answer, we can use

selenium.keyDownNative(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_TAB + "");
selenium.keyUpNative(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_TAB + "");

I tried this method for VK_CONTROL in IE and it worked good.
