web » type(locator,value)
Description
This command instructs Nexial to enter the specified value into the first element that matches the specified
locator. In almost all cases, such element is either a textbox or a textarea. Note that this command will overwrite
any existing text of the target element. If the specified value is (empty), then the text of the target element will
be cleared.
Note that this is not exactly the same as in setting the value attribute of a textbox element. Many of the modern or
the more-sophisticated Web frontend frameworks do not equate the entering of text as the same as setting the value
attribute of a textbox or textarea element.
Parameters
- locator - this parameter is xpath locator of the element
- value - this parameter is the actual value to be typed into element. Use
(empty)to clear out the text in the target element
