Note that for some websites like Facebook, it may have a longer loading time, such that the sendkeys don’t have enough time to input the keyboard strokes after the page has loaded, such that the login fields aren’t filled. The script opens an Internet Explorer browser that navigates to, inputs the search term “cow”, and inputs the ENTER key to complete the google search.īut what if you are using a website like Facebook? You replace the google url with and plan out what a user normally hits on a keyboard to log into facebook. So to mimic the actions of a user’s keyboard input, we are going to use sendkeys.
