Write in textBox using .Set with UFT

I'm automating a web portal with Iexplorer. I am using UFT V11.50. I'm having problems when writing to a textbox. I use the following statement:

Browser ("browser"). Page ("page"). Frame ("Calendar"). WebEdit ("_ CALCOD"). Set "5"

I use .SET to write to him textbox and it works but it is not recorded. Writes in the textbox number 5 but a second then disappears. I do not feel the same in other textbox. I do not understand what happens to me. Can you help?

Have you tried the type() function? If that doesn't work, try adding a small wait before you type in the field.

It may be that your edit field responds to different HTML events than UFT uses (UFT uses the most common events).

One way to work around this is to use device replay, this means that UFT will simulate a human being sitting at the keyboard and simulate the actual input device of the computer, thus the browser will fire all the events it would if a real person set the value of the edit field.

See this answer for more details about device replay mode.

Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2 ' Enter device mode Browser("browser").Page("page").Frame("Calendar").WebEdit("_CALCOD").Set "5" Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 1 ' Return to event mode
