selenium can't locate the element while the element is right there

i am trying to using the selenium auto input the HTML code in http://ueditor.baidu.com/website/examples/completeDemo.html. My procedure is that click the html first, and then code HTML in, while the IDE always told me that cant locate the element. it mad me crazy that the after click the HTML Button, the element is right there, but always error on. i just wonder how can i write in box after click the HTML button by using selenium? thanks to the warm-hearted guy

import os,time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

chromePath = r'E:/Python/WEB/web-infor-transfer/monidenglu/chromedriver.exe'
wd = webdriver.Chrome() 
loginUrl = 'http://ueditor.baidu.com/website/examples/completeDemo.html' 
wd.get(loginUrl) 


wd.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="edui4"]').click()


time.sleep(2)


wd.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="edui1_iframeholder"]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[2]').send_keys('hello')

   time.sleep(5)
   wd.quit()

Try action chains. For example - sending keys to the browser itself worked:

wd.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/pre[2]/span').click()
actions = ActionChains(wd)
actions.send_keys('hello')
actions.perform()
