Can't sendKeys() to TinyMCE with Selenium WebDriver

Solution
Yes, as what Richard says, this is a duplicate of How to input text into tinceMCE editior using selenium/webdriver.
For your specific code, I'd suggest
Try different locator for `mceContentBody`, e.g use `By.cssSelector(".mceContentBody")`, `By.cssSelector("body")`, etc.
Click the body first before sending keys.
driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).click().sendKeys("YOOOO");
- Set innerHTML
inputWebDriver.switchTo().frame("input-data_ifr");
WebElement element = inputWebDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body"));
(JavascriptExecutor)driver.executeScript("arguments[0].innerHTML = '<h1>Set text using innerHTML</h1>'", element);
- Use TinyMCE's native API
// no need to switch iframe
(JavascriptExecutor)driver.executeScript("tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('<h1>Native API text</h1> TinyMCE')");

Problem
I am using Selenium WebDriver in Eclipse and I am trying to insert text into a tinymce box on a web page. This is the code I am using. ``` //find tinymce iframe editorFrame = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".col_right iframe")); //switch to iframe driver.switchTo().frame(editorFrame); driver.findElement(By.className("mceContentBody")).sendKeys("YOOOO"); driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); ``` The cursor is blinking inside of the editor, however no text is sent. I have also tried this slight variation without any luck. ``` //find tinymce iframe editorFrame = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".col_right iframe")); //switch to iframe driver.switchTo().frame(editorFrame); WebElement body = driver.findElement(By.className("mceContentBody")); body.sendKeys("YOOOO"); driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); ```
