Python: Selenium send_keys input value immediately disappearing after input

[Anthony Camarillo]

I am trying to use Selenium(3.141.0) with Carfax but I cannot figure out why my input value is disappearing after input. The browser will open, and the input box (for zip code) will fill with the send_keys value but immediately after it will clear the value. Below is the code I have.

from selenium import webdriver 

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By 

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys 

PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe" 

driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH) 

driver.get('https://www.carfax.com/Used-Hatchbacks_bt4') 

try: 

     element = driver.find_element_by_name('zip')

     element.send_keys('92880') 

except: 

     driver.quit()

I have also tried

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].value='92880';",element)

but this has the same result.

Hi Anthony,

You need to add time.sleep(2) which will make your script wait for 2 seconds. In the mean time the page will get fully loaded. In your case the page gets loaded after you set the value...

Hope it help...

But what if the page takes 3 seconds?!
