How to provide a value for text field that does not have the value attribute in HtmlUnit?

Question

The HTML element below is part of a form:

<input id="code" type="text" name="code" placeholder="Enter code here" autocomplete="off"/>

I would like to pass a string to this element. I do not know how to pass a string without a value attribute.

Answer 1

You can try to pass the string to the input by using setText() method:

HtmlTextInput input = (HtmlTextInput) page.getElementById("code");
input.setText("your_text");

or type() method:

HtmlTextInput input = (HtmlTextInput) page.getElementById("code");
input.type("your_text");
