Using sendKeys in a readonly WebElement

[pablomarcelo]

I'm using WebDriver and I need to write some data in a readonly
textbox, I'm using sendKeys but it is not working.

Someone can explain me how to send data into a readonly textbox?

Thanks

You'll have to use the JavaScript Executor:

(Assuming your previous code looked like - element.sendKeys("my text to put in the value"); )

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].value=arguments[1]", element, "my text to put in the value");

By default WebDriver behaves like an end user... if you can't do it manually, then WebDriver won't do it through the normal api.
