Cannot type in chinese character

[bury_source1]

When I type in input element with text in chinese characters like “一二三”, it will erase the input, so I cannot submit. How to handle this situation?

Thanks!

With JavaScript (e.g. executeScript), maybe. Testscript is very helpful.

Thanks, But it does’t work. I use command “executeScript | var cName=‘一二三’;return cName; | instanceName” to store the chinese characters in variable instanceName, and use command "type | name=instanceName | ${instanceName} " to type in input, But it still erase the input.

It is normal (by design) that the Selenium IDE TYPE command erases the input, this is not related to using Chinese. If you just want to add some text to a box, then use the method described here:

How to replace *parts* of a text in a text box

The problem: If you use type | locator | text here then the complete text in a textbox gets replaced. But what if you want to change only a part of the content, e. g. a link? Example: Replace a string in the html code here: HTML Code - 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗕 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗦 [replace%20string]
