Sending Keystrokes directly to the browser
I have a checkbox control that for some reason SAHI cannot click for the life of me.
I am looking at two hack solutions:
- trying to just tab around the browser until that checkbox gets the focus and then hitting SPACE bar to check the box
- having developers put a secret keystroke, CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F10 that will check the box
will either of these work? I hear the one issue may be that I cannot simply send keystrokes to the browser

Can you provide the page containing the checkbox you have mentioned? I would like to see as to why it is that Sahi is unable to check or uncheck it directly.
Yes, both of your workarounds will work using native key events in Sahi.
