Set value is not working fine when I try to submit it

Hello guys, I have another question. For some reason, when I try to set the value of a text field, the field is fill up, and if I use the tracking tool after that it seems that the field value is correct as well.

But if then try to post the form, for any reason it seems that is not getting the value of these fields and then having an error on posting. The temporary solution I have found is use the Key Sequence action instead of Set values, and it works fine like that.

So why do you think it can be happening?

Hi,

The most probable reason of your problem is that the SetValue does not trigger "keypress" (or similar) event. SetValue simply inserts a value to control of your choice, but it does not trigger events/scripts eventually attached to the element! This is why you should use KeySequence instead (especially for web-based apps). SetValue action is not exactly user-based action, so it should be used with caution and only if you know for sure there are no "onkey" or similar events attached to input of your choice.

Ok, I understand. So I will start using only Key Sequence for web forms.

Thank you
