setCursorPosition not working in webdriver backed selenium

[robocop]

Hi

Is there any reason why setCursorPosition not working in webdriver backed selenium . the code is

selenium.setCursorPosition("id=DATETO_0", "0");

and the source code of text box  is below

<input type="TEXT" onblur="TidyDate(" datefrom_0")"="" onfocus="CellFocus(" value="  /  /  " tabindex="0" maxlength="10" size="12" id="DATEFROM_0" name="DATEFROM_0" class="INPUT">

Thanks

It's because it's not implemented. Try breaking out the underlying
webdriver instance:

WebDriver driver = ((WrapsDriver) selenium).getWrappedDriver();
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("DATETO_0"));
element.sendKeys(Keys.HOME);

Hi Simon

I was thinking it might not be implemented. Good to know.

I will give this a bash, thanks for the quick response on this.

Looks convoluted, but transforming your code into the WebDriver API would make it look like:

Actions performAction = new Actions(driver);
WebElement myID = driver.findElement(By.id("myid"));
myID.sendKeys("mypage");
performAction.moveToElement(myID).perform();
myID.sendKeys("prank");

What happens if we want to set the cursor position as we are doing in RC
selenium.type("id=myid","mypage");
selenium.setCursorPosition("id=myid",2);
selenium.type("id=myid","prank");

sothat the text in that box becomes myprankpage.How to implement this in webdriver...

Finding and creating a reference to an element is not the same as moving the mouse cursor over the element.

As I said in my original post it looks a bit convoluted, but I have just transformed the existing Selenium RC API code into its WebDriver API equivalent. I have no idea how valid the original code was.

performAction.moveToElement(myID).perform();        ---again moving to the same element 
myID.sendKeys("prank");                                        ---typing "prank"

In this case we are not really moving the cursor position to 2nd. is not it
