I'm using selenium for automation and I'm using Chromedriver.

Is there a way to control or fill in a web page that is previously opened - not opened with Navigate().GoToUrl()? For example:

  1. Start Chrome
  2. Open a web page
  3. Start ChromeDriver
  4. Point ChromeDriver to the previously opened web page
  5. Fill in text in a text box on that web page

  • Did you try driver.navigate().back(); ? – Helping Hands May 07 '15 at 05:41
  • Unfortunately, you can't. Only a browser instance opened as a WebDriver instance can be controlled by WebDriver. Why would you need to do the above? There may be a work around people could suggest if a little more context is provided. Thanks. – Mark Rowlands May 07 '15 at 08:04

  • Mark, thanks for your comment. What I am trying to do is fill in a web page from a C# program. The C# program has a list of "answers" that I want to use to fill in text boxes in the web page. Simply, click on a table entry in my C# program then click on the text box in the web page; the text in the chosen table entry is filled in the clicked web page text box. – Tracy Gulick May 07 '15 at 15:35
