sendKeys on field with jquery maskedinput

[kolec]

We have encoutered the same problem: sendKeys has no effect on text
field with maskedInput (jquery plugin). Are there any news about
solving that problem ?
Kind regards!

It'd be Really Useful to know which browser and version you're using
on which OS and version. And which version of jquery you're using.
With that information, I'd be able to start thinking about looking
into this...

Hello Simon

I am having the same problem. My form has a field which takes phone
number. The text field has a formatting which looks like (___)___-___

I use this:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@id,'"+field.trim()
+"')]")).sendKeys(data);

There is no effect on this field.
I use FirefoxDriver();
My OS: Win xP Pro
Browser: Firefox 4.0.1

Please let me know.

Is there a demo page somewhere public that we can use to examine this problem?

There is a demo on the Masked Input Plugin author's site
http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/

The following code offers a workaround by dropping to Selenium
emulation. There are bound to be other workarounds that would achieve
the same results. SendKeys did not put the date 01/01/1970 into the
date box, but the type, followed by blank sendKeys triggered enough of
the events to get the input into the box.

@Test
public void maskedInputPlugin(){

WebDriver fdriver = new FirefoxDriver();
fdriver.get("http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/");

fdriver.findElement(By.id("tabs")).findElement(By.linkText("Demo")).click();

// following does not trigger plugin code
//driver.findElement(By.id("date")).sendKeys("01011970");

// workaround
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(fdriver,"");
selenium.type("date", "01011970");
fdriver.findElement(By.id("date")).sendKeys("");

}

Hope that helps,

Alan
