How to click into an input field

Hi all,

I am new to Selenium IDE and try to use it for GWT auto web testing. We had designed that the save button wouldn't be enable until all input fields be fill in.
I had tried sendKeys, type, keyPress, keyDown and keyUp command, all of them can put value or string into field, but the save button would not be enable. Because it need to detect the mouse cursor in the field and leave the field. However, I can't find a command to simulate user click the field and type key-by-key.(Not just put value in field, but key value into field)

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bruce

Have you tried using click on those fields?

Hi ccox,

Sure, I have tried to click and clickAt(with coordString: (10,10)) those fields by its id(e.g.: id=x-auto-12-input), but nothing happened..

Thanks
