How can I emulate TAB key with Selenium 2.0?

[gadhet]

Hi all,

I'm using Selenium 2.0a7(aka Webdriver) and I have problem with
emulate TAB key. I've founded something like this:

selenium.keyPressNative(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_TAB + "");

but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Use the org.openqa.selenium.Keys enum:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("inputField"));

element.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);

If you get this error from Jason's code, then it looks like it can't
find the element correctly. Do you have the right ID for the element
you are looking for. Jason didn't mean to actually use "inputField" as
the id. You have to find the id/xpath/name/etc of your element, and
tell the driver to find it.

In other words, this NoSuchElementException is one the first line of
code, the one where you find the element. The error is NOT with the
second line of code, where you send the tab key.
