selenium.type("id","value"); does not work

Here is my sample code:

selenium.open("/test.php");

selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");

selenium.type("name","TestName");

selenium.type("description","TestDescription");

selenium.click("OK");

selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");

When I execute this script, I get the name field populated with but description field is skipped and OK button is clicked. Since both name and description both are text field and are mandatory field on clicking OK button the task is not completed as the description textbox is empty.

to debug I entered another line of code before selenium.type("description","TestDescription"); as

System.out.println(selenium.isElementPresent("description"));

and on execution I got the value as true.

Selenium server is giving Result as OK for all the lines above but still the field is not getting populated by data

So, I added one more line

System.out.println(selenium.isEditable("description));

for which I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: ERROR: E
lement description is not an input.

java:519)



I verified the .php file and that code never mentions of uneditable or so...

Can anyone help me how to work around this??

I am too facing now a similar problem. selenium.type("id=ID", "VALUE"); this line of code not working for me in few places for my web page. wherein this problem is not found with Selenium IDE, there it runs properly.

I too am not seeing this with IDE, only with RC. I mean it works perfectly fine in selenium IDE but not in RC
