sendkeys are not working in Selenium Webdriver

I am not able to put any value in my application using web driver. My application is using frames. Using following command I am able to clear the value of my textbox driver.findElement(By.name("name")).clear(); But it does not allow to put any value using following command: driver.findElement(By.name("name")).sendKeys("manish");

even though click command works for button on the same page.

Please suggest me what should i do to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Try clicking on the textbox before you send keys.

It may be that you need to trigger an event on the field before input and hopefully the click will do it

Use javascript to click in the field and then use sendkeys() to enter values. I had a similar problem in past with frames. Javascript is the best way .

Try using Javascript to sendkeys().

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("name"));  JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;  executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);  

More info on Javascript Executor can be found @ JavascriptExecutor - Selenium

First pass driver control to frame using----

  driver.switchTo().frame("pass id/name/index/webelement");  

After that perform operation which you want to do on webelement present inside frame--

 driver.findElement(By.name("name")).sendKeys("manish");

I also had that problem as well before. But then what I did to make it work is

myInputElm.click();  myInputElm.clear();  myInputElm.sendKeys('myString');

Generally I keep a temp variable. This should work.

var name = element(by.id('name'));  name.clear();  name.sendKeys('anything');  

Hope it helps.

I have gone with the same problem where copy paste is also not working for that text box. Below code is working fine for me-

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();  String mobNo = "99xxxxxxxx";  WebElement mobileElementIrs =   driver.findElement(By.id("mobileNoPrimary"));  mobileElementIrs.click();  mobileElementIrs.clear();  mobileElementIrs.sendKeys(mobNo);
