Hi All..

I'd like to put the below id value in my desktop flow manually.

I've already tried to record so that enter date as text but if failed and the error msg showed that cannot find that element.

So I turned on develop mode on web browser and then checked the id value of that element but don't know which action should be used. Please help me for this.

Use Run javascript on webpage action.

document.getElementById("Put_Id_here") = "2022-11-01";

Depending on how the code of the webpage is written, you might have to either press a tab or a enter or click a button for the dates to reflect. Sometimes nothing is needed to be done, only entering values in the textbox.

Hi VJR,
Always Thank you for your quick response.

I'm the beginner of PAD so have a little confusing about javascript.
As attached screenshot, there is sdate and edate input type and also there is id value for each as I highlighted below.

In this case, do I just drag and drop the action 'Run javascript function on web page' and then put the code like below?
function ExecuteScript() {document.getElementById("dp1670239429245.hasDatepicker") = "2022-11-01"; }

Already I did so but it didn't work properly. Do you have any comments for this?

Thank you in advance! 🙂

As per the screenshot, the Ids are as below

dp1670239429245~~.hasDatepicker~~

So drag and drop the action 'Run javascript function on web page' and then add code as below

document.getElementById("dp1670239429245") = "2022-11-01";

Hi VJR,

as I re-checekd, It was confirmed that the id value changes every time the browser is opened. Is there any other way in this case?

If the id changes then make use of the name

document.getElementsByName("sdate")[0].value = "2022-11-01";
document.getElementsByName("edate")[0].value = "2022-11-10";
