Question

I have HTML which looks like this:

<input type="text" name="USERNAME.DUMMY.DUMMY.1" value="" id="USERNAME.DUMMY.DUMMY" class="username" size="25" autocomplete="Off">

I am trying to insert text to this input element after loading it. Her is my Robot script:

Open Browser ${url} ${browser} Sleep ${wait} Input Text id=USERNAME.DUMMY.DUMMY ${text}

But it is never able to find the ID. I have tried the same with class and name attributes but none of them work. This element is not under an iFrame.

Any help would be appreciated !

Check if the username field is inside a shadow element.

Can you try

input text //*[@id="USERNAME.DUMMY.DUMMY"]
