无法将Selenium Python中的send_keys发送到td（无可用输入标签）

Question

I can find the element and click on it:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='tinymce']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1]").click()

When I try to send_keys to it with:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='tinymce']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1]").send_keys("test")

I get

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\jlesslar\Documents\Scripts\post robot automater.py", line 60, in <module>
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='tinymce']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1]").send_keys("test")

As far as I cant tell the td is where I want to send_keys to but online it says I should either have a text field or input tag available to me for send_keys to work (which I do not)

Guidance would be much appreciated.Thanks!

You should be able to change the innerHTML value by using a JS using execute_script()

First get your element:

el = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='tinymce']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1]")

Then try by setting directly the innerHTML value:

driver.execute_script('arguments[0].innerHTML = "test";', el)
