Set value of input instead of sendKeys() - Selenium WebDriver nodejs
Try to set the element's value using the executeScript method of JavascriptExecutor:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;jse.executeScript("document.getElementById('elementID').setAttribute('value', 'new value for element')");
Thanks to Andrey Egorov, in my case with python setAttribute not working, but I found I can set the property directly,
Try this code:
driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('q').value='value here'")
Extending from the correct answer of Andrey-Egorov using .executeScript() to conclude my own question example:
inputField = driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id('gbqfq'));driver.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('value', '" + longstring +"')", inputField);
