Write from Collection to a browser textfield.

Hi People I am wondering why when I am using Write, the text field shows a value but it does not work properly. Any ideas or inputs on how we could make the browser recognize the value being input on the field. Thank you and have a nice day.

The write stage bypasses the keyboard, so if the webpage has some sort of event handler expecting human input, it won't 'hear' the robot input. The trick is to make the webpage 'aware' by triggering it's event handler. Try clicking in the field with the mouse first and/or using send keys.

Thanks.

Hi, This happens to fields which require keystrokes action in order to capture or trigger back-end functions. Try the solution provided by John,If you still face issue then try sending the text in navigate stage using Send key events action.This worked for me.
