In this article , we will see the functions needed for inserting data in a
text box.
Usually the input text fields takes data and send request to server(i.e.- Log In page).
For this , we have to declear an element outside of method.
private IWebElement element;
Now inside any method , (for user name input text box )
-To find the element for taking username as input (in here txtUserName).
element = driver.FindElement(By.Id("txtUserName"));
-To clear existing or inputted text
element.Clear();
-To write user name "Shantonu"
element.SendKeys("Shantonu");
In the same way we can insert a password
And then, find the button and then
-To click the button
element.Click();
So, finally the full code will be
element = driver.FindElement(By.Id("txtUserName"));
element.Clear();
element.SendKeys("Shantonu");
element = driver.FindElement(By.Id("txtPassword"));
element.Clear();
element.SendKeys("123456");
element = driver.FindElement(By.Id("btnSignIn"));
element.Click();
Note - I use C# code.

DeleteHi Shantanu
ReplyDeleteThanks for reply.I made a mistake.Now its ok according to your comment.But if i want to send multiple data for test or read the data from CSV file then what should i do?
What do you mean by multiple data here?... a text in a text box in single loading of a page or, more than one time loading of that page?
DeleteUsually, we insert data using send key. If you are using CSV data source, you need to parse CSV file to a variable before inserting data and you can directly use that string variable as send key parameter.
