How to set “value” to input web element using selenium?
We can set value to input webelement using Selenium webdriver. We can take the help of the sendKeys method to enter text to the input field. The value to be entered is passed as an argument to the method.
Syntax
driver.findElement(By.id("txtSearchText")).sendKeys("Selenium");We can also perform web operations like entering text to the edit box with Javascript Executor in Selenium. We shall use the executeScript method and pass argument index.value='<value to be entered>' and webelement as arguments to the method.
Syntax
WebElement i = driver.findElement(By.id("id"));
JavascriptExecutor j = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
j.executeScript("arguments[0].value='Selenium';", i);Example
Code Implementation
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class SetValue{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm");
// identify element
WebElement l=driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[id*='id']"));
l.sendKeys("Selenium");
// obtain the value entered with getAttribute method
System.out.println("Value entered is: " +l.getAttribute("value"));
driver.close();
}
}Example
Code Implementation with Javascript Executor.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
public class SetValueJS{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm");
// identify element
WebElement l=driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[id*='id']"));
// Javascript Executor class with executeScript method
JavascriptExecutor j = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
j.executeScript("arguments[0].value='Selenium';", l);
System.out.println("Value entered is: " +l.getAttribute("value"));
driver.close();
}
}Output
