Emulating tab key press or 'enter' keypress event, for list item ..

cmani87

I want to complete selection of a list item...

I had used, _setValue(_textbox("textid1"), "test");

to set a value....But, when I move to the next field using click or something, the value is getting set to 'blank', instead of 'test'...

And I tried with keyPress event, with char as [13,13] for enter key...

But, the textbox is setting value to 'null'(not blank)...Is there a way to simulate, 'enter' keypress, after a list item is selected, to set the value...

Or, is there a way to simulate tab key press, through javascript? (as I had checked with earlier posts, tab key press could be simulated through javascript..how will that look?)

Thanks,

Mani

I gave the below code and it worked for setting a value to the combo box...

_setValue(_textbox("testid1"), "Reduction");
_wait(5000);
_keyPress(_textbox("testid1"), [13,13]);
_wait(5000);

The problem is like, when i give, Pre-Reduction, the value in textbox("testid1") is setting to blank
_setValue(_textbox("testid2"), "Pre-Reduction");
_wait(5000);
_keyPress(_textbox("testid2"), [13,13]);
_wait(5000);

Pre-Reduction value is there as such in the combo box, unless and until, I setValue for some other combo box...Not sure, why it happens!

Hi swetha and cmani,
You can simulate ENTER key press event in an alternate way (using _typeKeyCodeNative function) which has been shown in an example in the following page:

Please let me know if you have problems with the mentioned way.

Regards.
