Difference between "type" and "typeKeys"

[Ripon Al Wasim]

Hi All,

What's the difference between     selenium.type("arg0", "arg1");  and   selenium.typeKeys("arg0", "arg1"); ?

br,

.type() programmatically populates the value attribute using JavaScript whereas .typeKeys() emulates a user actually typing.

 

.typeKeys() will trigger JavaScript events in the majority of cases whereas .type() wont.
