Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with error with input field

[Nitin]

Hi All,

I am facing an issue with input field, though its identifier are very clear but script is not able to identify the element. It just throws an error "Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with"

Kindly find below the html of the element.

<td style ="padding-left:0px;"
  <div id="divOTC">
     <input id="OTCTEXT" class="textmediumFont" type="text" rte="yes" onekeyup="validateFieldOnKeyDown();" onfocus="clickOnOTC();" value="Please Enter Your One-Time-Code" name="OTCTEXT" maxlength="6" tabindex="1" style="display:block;"></input>
     </div>
  <input id="OTC" class="text" type="password" rte="yes" onkeyup="validateFieldOnKeyDown();" onblur="clickOutOTC()" onfocus="numerickeypad();" name="OTC" maxlength="6" onkeypress="{if(event.keyCode==13)validateOTC()}" tabindex="1" style="display:none;"> </input>
</td>

Till now I have tried

driver.findElement(By.id("OTCTEXT")).click();

driver.findElement(By.id("OTC")).sendKeys("");

I have used Javascriptexecutor and Action class also but it is not able to find driver.findElement(By.id("OTC"));

Kindly suggest the way to identify this element and send the OTC into it.Any help is really appreciated.

Regards,

Nitin

first, your second input box is validating the first one -- {if(event.keyCode==13)validateOTC()}"  -- guessing if it doesn't validate correctly then the second will not show

and the second has  style="display:none;"> making it invisible to webdriver, again assuming when the first input box is validated correctly it will display.

How should I make sure that first input box is validated correctly every time sk that second input box is visible to the script.

Do I need to use robot class or Jquery to make it happen. Kindly advice.

Robot classes or jQuery are not going to help you here.  You need to input the correct data to make the second field appear.  I would suggest you then use an explicit wait to ensure that the second field has appeared before you try and interact with it.

The error you are getting is telling you that Selenium has found the field, but it's not yet visible.

hi,

Have you tried with JS? If yes, what's the code you tried?
