Selenium with Java send keys with keys.TAB

Hi I am working with selenium using Java. I have an editable table in which I need to enter nearly 12-17 values continuously. what I was trying is:

Prdcode.sendkeys(keys.TAB,"1000",keys.TAB,keys.TAB,"2000",....etc);

Now the problem is that it's not entering all the values; If I send 1000, it enters only 10 and triggers tab.

I have even tried "\t" but the problem is that it will append all the values instead of 'clear and enter'. Can some one help me on this?

First of all it is not sendkeys(). Please use sendKeys().

Solution:

Use multiple sendkeys() as given below.

Prdcode.sendKeys(keys.TAB);
Prdcode.sendKeys("1000");
Prdcode.sendKeys(keys.TAB);
Prdcode.sendKeys("2000");
Prdcode.sendKeys(.......);

Possible problems and solution :

  1. Prdcode is only one element and script is overwriting existing data. Here you can change next element as per given HTML. Refer this. Example :

    ele1.sendKeys("1000");
ele2.sendKeys("2000");
ele3.sendKeys(.......);

    Note : No need to use Prdcode.sendKeys(keys.TAB);

  2. Prdcode have some data entry limit. (Please check manually). If yes then script can not add string more than limit (Valid scenario).

  3. If scenario 1 is entering data randomly, then use Thread.sleep(1000); between sendKeys().

See :

ele1.sendKeys("1000");
Thread.sleep(1000);
ele2.sendKeys("2000");
Thread.sleep(1000);
ele3.sendKeys(.......);
Thread.sleep(1000);
