Selenium IDE: Clearing a text field

To clear the contents of a text field using Selenium IDE, you can use the "type" command. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open Selenium IDE and create a new test case.
2. In the "Command" column, enter "type".
3. In the "Target" column, enter the ID of the text field you want to clear. For example, if the text field has an ID of "username", you would enter "id=username".
4. In the "Value" column, leave it blank.
5. Click on the "Run" button to execute the test case. This will clear the contents of the specified text field.

Here's an example of how the code would look like: <tr> <td>type</td> <td>id=someID</td> <td></td> </tr> Alternative Method:

If you are unable to clear the text field using the "type" command, you can try using the "send key" command with the following value: ${KEY_SHIFT}${KEY_HOME}${KEY_SHIFT}${KEY_DELETE}. This combination of keystrokes will select all the text in the text field and then delete it.

Here's an example of how this would look like: <tr> <td>send key</td> <td>id=someID</td> <td>${KEY_SHIFT}${KEY_HOME}${KEY_SHIFT}${KEY_DELETE}</td> </tr> By using either of these methods, you should be able to successfully clear the contents of a text field using Selenium IDE.
