 webElement.sendKeys("some value here");

It works fine,it takes username & password successfully.Now I want to submit this after pressing ENTER key.So please guide me how to press ENTER key using HtmlUnitDriver object.

Answer 1

You need to first select an element (input, textfield ...) using findElement . This will return a WebElement .

On this object you can use the method sendKeys(java.lang.CharSequence... keysToSend) .

From the API : http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/WebElement.html

sendKeys(java.lang.CharSequence... keysToSend)
Use this method to simulate typing into an element, which may set its value.

You can use http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/Keys.html#ENTER

Answer 2

WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(false);
WebElement pw = driver.findElement(By.id("XX"));
pw.sendKeys(YY);
pw.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);

Answer 3

driver.switchTo().activeElement().sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);

That will send to the current active element. Use the findElement functions to specify a particular element to interact with.
