This is how i cleared and replaced with new text in my Ruby based web portal test

@driver.find_element(:xpath, "//input[@name='ip-address']").clear
@driver.find_element(:xpath, "//input[@name='ip-address']").send_keys(new_ip_address)

Come on guys... You can't be serious...

With selenium to clear an input field do this: selenium.type("") in ruby too.

And backspacing as many times as there are letters... Come on.. you don't do stuff like that.

Or in Ruby syntax: @browser.type "idofthefield", ""
