How to locate and insert a value in a text box (input) using Python Selenium?
I have the following HTML structure and I am trying to use Selenium to enter a value of NUM
:
<div class="MY_HEADING_A">
<div class="TitleA">My title</div>
<div class="Foobar"></div>
<div class="PageFrame" area="W">
<span class="PageText">PAGE <input id="a1" type="txt" NUM="" /> of <span id="MAX"></span> </span>
</div>
Here is the code I have written:
head = driver.find_element_by_class_name("MY_HEADING_A")
frame_elem = head.find_element_by_class_name("PageText")
# Following is a pseudo code.
# Basically I need to enter a value of 1, 2, 3 etc in the textbox field (NUM)
# and then hit RETURN key.
## txt = frame_elem.find_element_by_name("NUM")
## txt.send_keys(Key.4)
How to get this element and enter a value?
Assuming your page is available under "http://example.com"
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://example.com")
Select element by id:
inputElement = driver.find_element_by_id("a1")
inputElement.send_keys('1')
Now you can simulate hitting ENTER:
inputElement.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
or if it is a form you can submit:
inputElement.submit()
