                System.out.println("  Page");
                Thread.sleep(3000);
                WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='keyPad_UserInput']"));
                System.out.println("value using getAttribute ::"+ele.getAttribute("value"));
                System.out.println("value using getText::"+ ele.getText()); //its return empty or null
