How to type in textbox using Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) with Java?

This is simple if you only use Selenium WebDriver, and forget the usage of Selenium-RC. I'd go like this.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));email.sendKeys("your@email.here");

The reason for NullPointerException however is that your variable driver has never been started, you start FirefoxDriver in a variable wb thas is never being used.

Thanks Friend, i got an answer. This is only possible because of your help. you all give me a ray of hope towards resolving this problem.

Here is the code:

package facebook;import org.openqa.selenium.By;import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;public class Facebook {    public static void main(String args[]){        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();        driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");        WebElement email= driver.findElement(By.id("email"));        Actions builder = new Actions(driver);        Actions seriesOfActions = builder.moveToElement(email).click().sendKeys(email, "gati.naveen@gmail.com");        seriesOfActions.perform();        WebElement pass = driver.findElement(By.id("pass"));        WebElement login =driver.findElement(By.id("u_0_b"));        Actions seriesOfAction = builder.moveToElement(pass).click().sendKeys(pass, "naveench").click(login);        seriesOfAction.perform();        driver.    }    }

You should replace WebDriver wb = new FirefoxDriver(); with driver = new FirefoxDriver(); in your @Before Annotation.

As you are accessing driver object with null or you can make wb reference variable as global variable.
