Browser Driven Load Testing recorder is not recording HTML5 text fields and scripting BrowserSettext

[#1]

There is a known issue in SilkPerformer 9.0, 9.5 and 10.0 where a browser driven load testing recording does not record a BrowserSetText function for specific types of html 5 text field controls.  The affected field types are:

• color
• date
• datetime
• datetime-local
• email
• month
• number
• range
• search
• tel
• time
• url
• week

Microfocus are working on a fix for this and hope to include it in a future version of Silk Performer.  The solution at the moment is to manually script a BrowserSetText function with the xpath locator string of the control you want to set text into.

In Silk Performer 10.0 the following input fields are recognized as usual text fields:

* email

* number

* search

* tel

* url
