    Why would there be another way? What is the problem with sendKeys? API designers rarely provide 5 methods doing the same thing.

Any other way is only to use native Javascript action to enter the value in the text box:



WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

executor.executeScript("document.getElementById("textbox_id").value='new value';);
