clear text field using DELETE or BACK SPACE key

[amit dobriyal]

Hi ,

I am trying to clear a text field using below action,

emailField.sendKeys("gmail.com");

// clear the text entered

emailField.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL,"a",Keys.DELETE);

In above code, last line only selects the text , it is not deleting it, but if i separate the actions it works.

emailField.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL,"a");

emailField.sendKeys(Keys.DELETE);

Hi Amit,

You may use the below command -

emailField.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"a",Keys.DELETE));

I hope this will resolve your problem.

Swapnil, You should be passing string to 'Sendkeys' method.

What is your business need? for using this -> Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"a",Keys.DELETE)
