Cannot use sendkeys to input string on an element in selenium

Question

I am trying to find a input box and then using sendkeys to send an input to the input box but I am unable to do this. It gives me an error saying cannot find the element. Please help.

Answer 1

The problem may be of the locator that you are using.

Just change the locator to By.xpath like this:

WebElement InputField = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='search'"));
passwordInputField.sendKeys("Your string");

Hope this helps you!
