Cannot populate field

Bart

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to put value in to the imput, i using _setValue and _type commands but non of them working.
This is the element im trying to populate:
<input type="text" class="middle ui-autocomplete-input ui-widget ui-widget-content" autocomplete="off" role="textbox" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-haspopup="true" placeholder="Country" id="cb_country_selector-country">

i tried:
_setValue(_textbox("cb_country_selector-country"), "z");
_setValue(_byId("cb_country_selector-country"), "z");

what else can i try ?

You could try:

API _type(element, text)
Notes Types the text into the element. Different from _setValue.
_type does not bring or remove focus from element. Rarely used.

FYI _type works when _setValue failed!

Unexpected problem with a Login Form - Sahi records just like the PDF help examples.
But playing back acted totally UNresponsive, dead, silent, no change, failed UNTIL ...
final Success when I replaced the _setvalue and _click statements with the _type statements below. Note, I could only "click" the Submit button by _type(ing) a space "in" it.

_setValue(_textbox("xyzUser"), "yourName");
 _type(_textbox("xyzUser"), "yourName");
_setValue(_password("xyzPassword"), "wordpass");
 _type(_password("xyzPassword"), "wordpass");

_click(_submit("Log In")); // id=idlogon
 _type(_submit("Log In")," ");
