Cableguy Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jan 11, 2025 #1 Hi guys, I guess this one is for our HTML expert users... I have this input field in a form: <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Email address / account name"> I can interact with it by using B4X: Copy Dim LoginForm As Object = Selenium.FindByClassName("","formV2") 'this is my form Dim Login As Object = Selenium.FindByClassName(LoginForm, "input") 'this works, but why??? Selenium.WebElementSendKeys(Login, "pendrush") I need to next interact with <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password"> which is part of the same form... but I just can't "find" it!! Any hints??

Solution Pendrush Jan 11, 2025 First update library and check examples: B4X: Copy Dim LoginForm As Object is B4X: Copy Dim LoginForm As Pnd_WebElement Explanation of your code: "LoginForm As Object" is FORM tag and everything inside <form> </form> "Dim Login As Object" is INPUT field inside <form> </form> tag.

Pendrush Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 11, 2025 #6 I just re-downloaded library and i can see all classes. Try to download again. Close B4J, and then extract ZIP to additional lib folder and then run B4J. Its look like you have old Pnd_Selenium.xml file. Upvote 0

Explanation is on the bottom of the page: Selenium Library - Pnd_Selenium Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well.
