In a webpage I have the following element:
<div id="learning_form" >
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody><tr><td><input type="text" id="answer" autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Odpowiedź" style="width: 360px;"></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div id="check"><h4 style="text-align: center;">Sprawdź</h4></div>
<div id="special_characters"><div> </div><div> </div></div>
</div>
How I can insert text here using selenium in python? I tried using:
driver.find_element(By.ID,"learning_form").send_keys("some text")
but it doesn't work.
Snapshot of the element:

To send a character sequence to the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.learning_form#learning_form input#answer[placeholder='Odpowiedź']"))).send_keys("OłJeż")
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='learning_form' and @id='learning_form']//input[@id='answer' and @placeholder='Odpowiedź']"))).send_keys("OłJeż")
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
CodePudding user response:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#answer"))).send_keys("value")
It seems you need to send values to the input with an id answer.
<input type="text" id="answer" autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Odpowiedź" style="width: 360px;">
