Hi. I’m new to the software and I’ve been trying to complete an online form for testing purposes, I’m having trouble entering text into the description box of the following website:

I’ve managed to do everything else including the dropdown but no matter what I try I can’t select and type into the box. Any help gratefully received

Indeed, classic selenium ide commands fail on this text box - nothing gets recorded when I type inside. => So the solution is to use XClick and XType to fill the text box.

  • store | your text | !clipboard store text in clipboard
  • xclick | image.png (set the focus in the box)
  • xtype | ${KEY_CTRL+KEY_V} paste text

Hi, the XCLICK method works fine in my test:

{
  "Name": "textbox",
  "CreationDate": "2021-10-28",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "open",
      "Target": "http://www.classtize.com/post-ad-free",
      "Value": "",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "type",
      "Target": "id=ad_title",
      "Value": "testing1",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "XClickRelative",
      "Target": "textbox_dpi_168.png",
      "Value": "",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "XType",
      "Target": "Hello${KEY_ENTER}It works!",
      "Value": "",
      "Description": ""
    }
  ]
}
