How can I clear a text box field for safaridriver using webdriver?

Question

I used this below command which only works for chrome and Firefox but does not work for safari.

driver.findElement(By.id("userEmail")).clear();

Seems like a simple Javascript call ought to work, if Safari somehow dislikes WebDriver. What is the error message you're getting? — Robert Harvey, Sep 22 '14 at 14:57
i'm getting below error. org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: Element does not exist in cache (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) — Mel, Sep 22 '14 at 15:26
Sounds like the element doesn't exist in the cache. I don't know enough about webdriver to know why; perhaps you added the element dynamically (using Javascript), without telling webdriver about it? — Robert Harvey, Sep 22 '14 at 15:31

Yes, I know. You said that already in your question. Since it's a caching problem, you might want to examine how the "cache" is behaving. — Robert Harvey, Sep 22 '14 at 15:34

Clear the element using

function name()
{  
document.getElementById('elementid').value = "";
}

I am new to Webdriver, i don't know what to do with this code – Mel Sep 22 '14 at 15:34
Are you using [Selenium WebDriver](http://docs.seleniumhq.org/projects/webdriver/)? – Izzy Sep 22 '14 at 15:46
