how to delete default values in text field using selenium?

And was the code helpful? Because the code you are writing should do the thing:

driver.findElement("locator").clear();

If it does not help, then try this:

WebElement toClear = driver.findElement("locator");toClear.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "a");toClear.sendKeys(Keys.DELETE);

maybe you will have to do some convert of the Keys.CONTROL + "a" to CharSequence, but the first approach should do the magic

For page object model -

 @FindBy(xpath="//foo")   public WebElement textBox;

now in your function

 public void clearExistingText(String newText){    textBox.clear();    textBox.sendKeys(newText);  }

for general selenium architecture -

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//yourxpath")).clear();driver.findElement(By.xpath("//yourxpath")).sendKeys("newText");

If you're looking for a solution from Selenium RC, you can use simply

// assuming 'selenium' is a healthy Selenium instanceselenium.type("someLocator", "");
