I ran into a problem while switching from firefoxdriver to chromedriver with selenium, it was working fine in FF but now when I try to clear a date input field I have this error:
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: Element must be user-editable
in order to clear it. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

I tried adding the contenteditable attribute to my input fields but no luck there:
<input type="date" contenteditable="true" required="required" placeholder="YYYY-MM-dd" />
I am not sure if I should report that or where to report it but I found these issues in related projects that somewhat similar:
https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/554
https://github.com/Behat/MinkSelenium2Driver/pull/29
In the meantime any suggestions to get around that bug?

2) Press the backspace key but here the number of times backspace key pressed should be equal to the number of character in the string because backspace will clear one character in one press.
Step 1 - Initiate WebDriver and set the application's URL where a Calendar is implemented. Define the xpath with the Calendar control's id (in this example it is - travel_date) from the html source to find the element and later use that object to initiate the click action.
clear method is used to clear text of any field, such as input field of a form or even to anchor tag paragraph, etc. It replaces its contents on the webpage in your browser.
findElement(fromDate); } By fromDate= By.id("from"); selenium. selenium-webdriver.
As a workaround you can select the webElement representing the input field and perform a
webElement.SendKeys(Keys.Delete);
to clear the field.
