sendKeys() in Selenium web driver

Question

I am new to Selenium. I just want to send keys to a username text box and send a tab key both at a time so that text box can check for availability of username.

Answer 1

Try this code:

WebElement userName = pathfinderdriver.switchTo().activeElement();
userName.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);

Answer 2

List<WebElement>itemNames = wd.findElements(By.cssSelector("a strong")); 
System.out.println("No items in Catalog page: " + itemNames.size());
   for (WebElement itemName:itemNames)
    {  
       System.out.println(itemName.getText());
    }

Answer 3

I have found that creating a var to hold the WebElement and the call the sendKeys() works for me.

WebElement speedCurrentCell = driver.findElement(By.id("Speed_current"));
speedCurrentCell.sendKeys("1300");

Answer 4

I believe Selenium now uses Key.TAB instead of Keys.TAB.

Answer 5

Try this, it will surely work:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[text()='User Name:']/following::div/input")).sendKeys("UserName" + Keys.TAB);

Answer 6

For python selenium,

Importing the library,

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

Use this code to press any key you want,

Anyelement.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

You can find all the key names by searching this selenium.webdriver.common.keys.
