Error:org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: You may only interact with visible elements using htmlunitdriver?

Question

I am getting this error:

org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: You may only interact with visible elements

when I use HtmlUnitDriver. It works for URL, after that when I start with

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#from_city_typeahead")).sendKeys("bangalore");

such statements, it gives the above error. Help me to solve this issue.

Can you provide us the full code and some more explanation please? — Homewrecker, Sep 30 '15 at 06:34

You can do the same action with javascript:

webdriver.executeScript("document.getElementById('elementID').setAttribute('value', 'new value for element')");

Visibility does matter in case of standard visible browsers. But it's doesnt matter for javascript in case of any of browsers.
