    I tried this : browser.execute("_sahi._keyPress(_sahi._image('Search'), [13,13]);");

    But its not working!!

    An enter can not pressed on an image. Use a textbox (or any input element) to execute that keypress event.

    Hi Akshada,

    Can you specify how you tried with a textbox? If you say something does not work, please do post what you tried so that we can verify and reproduce it here.

    Hi Akshada,

    We checked this and looks like pressing enter using keypress 13 does not work if the element does not have an explicit keypress handler.
    You can try this instead:

    browser.execute("_sahi._textbox('SearchInput').form.submit()");

    This is a workaround, till we figure out a better solution.

    HI Narayan,

    There was this functionality which allowed User to use "Tab" and "Enter" keys which i wanted to automate.
    Otherwise i am able to record and playback the same. Issue was with "Enter key" and "Tab Key"

    Thank you for the help!! :-)

    Hi All,

    Theres a "search" functionality avalaible in my application, So its like A text-box where u enter your keyword and a search image . On entering keyword and clicking on the Searck image, i should get valid results.

    Also if User entersKeyword and presses "Enter-Key" (No clicking on "Search image"), Valid results should be displayed. Which is what i want to test using Java!!

    Thanks and regards

    Hi Narayan,

    As you mentioned, pressing enter using keypress 13 does not work if the element does not have an explicit keypress handler. You suggested browser.execute("_sahi._textbox('SearchInput').form.submit()");
    How can I achieve the same thing using sahi script? Is there anyway to submit the form?

    Looking forward for a quick reply, since I have a demo scheduled tomorrow morning :(

    Thanks a ton in advance.
