sendKeys not working with Selenium IDE 2.9.0

[sujinyan]

Hi.

I've got some pretty simple code (running with Selenium IDE 2.9.0), with which I'm trying to login to a site:

<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1">
<thead>
<tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="3">tp_func_001</td></tr>
</thead><tbody>
<tr>
    <td>open</td>
    <td>bui</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>waitForElementPresent</td>
    <td>id=login_username</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>3000</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>sendKeys</td>
    <td>id=login_username</td>
    <td>root</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>3000</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>sendKeys</td>
    <td>id=login_password</td>
    <td>password</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>3000</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>click</td>
    <td>id=login_signin</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>

It **appears** to work. However, after hitting the login_signin button, it returns:

[error] Error: There was an unexpected Alert! [Must enter a password.]

That is, for some reason, the browser (javascript/ajax) isn't actually registering the input into Username.

Any ideas?

(Same problem is occurring with Firefox ESR 31.6.0 running on Solaris and Pale Moon 25.4.1 running on Windows 7)


Thanks,
