title: selenium webdriver SendKeys is not working
body: <pre><code>public void testMedicalPartyTraffic(){
      doLogin(true);
      chooseDataset("Party");
  
      new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("searchId"))).selectByVisibleText("Medical Party Traffic");

      driver.findElement(By.id("btnSubmit")).click();
  
      WebElement table = waitForDataTable(1, 1, "dataTable");
      doubleClickByRowAndColumn(table, 1, 1);

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using Chrome Browser and ChromeDriver instance and Selenium WebDriver 2.49.1.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>sendKeys</code> method is not sending any input string into the browser. Is there any alternative method to set a String into a text field? </p>
  
  
  
  Provider ID:
  
  
  
  
  
  <p>I have a dropdown with three option on the left hand side of the webpage. When the default first option is selected from the dropdown the sendKeys is working fine . But when i select the second option from the dropdown the sendKeys method is not passing the string into the text filed .</p>
