SendKeys() in Selenium Web Driver

I doubt for Keys.TAB in sendKeys method... if you want to use TAB you need to do something like below:

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.keyDown(Keys.TAB).perform()

This is a single line command to send the TAB key;

driver.findElement(By.id("Enter_ID")).sendKeys("\t");

I believe Selenium now uses Key.TAB instead of Keys.TAB.

For python selenium,

Importing the library,

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

Use this code to press any key you want,

Anyelement.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

You can find all the key names by searching this selenium.webdriver.common.keys.

I have found that creating a var to hold the WebElement and the call the sendKeys() works for me.

WebElement speedCurrentCell = driver.findElement(By.id("Speed_current"));
speedCurrentCell.sendKeys("1300");

Try using Robot class in java for pressing TAB key. Use the below code.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[text()='User Name:']/following::div/input")).sendKeys("UserName");

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);

Try this code:

WebElement userName = pathfinderdriver.switchTo().activeElement();
userName.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);

Try this, it will surely work:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[text()='User Name:']/following::div/input")).sendKeys("UserName" + Keys.TAB);

Try this one, and then import the package:

import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='username']")).sendKeys("username");

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='username']")).sendKeys(Keys.TAB);

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='Password']")).sendKeys("password");

List<WebElement>itemNames = wd.findElements(By.cssSelector("a strong")); 
System.out.println("No items in Catalog page: " + itemNames.size());
   for (WebElement itemName:itemNames)
    {  
       System.out.println(itemName.getText());
    }

The simplest solution is Go to Build Path > Configure Build Path > Java Compiler and then select the 'Compiler compliance level:' to the latest one from 1.4 (probably you have this).
