title: Robot framework: How to locate a input text field and how to input a value in it
body: <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/J4wkF.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/J4wkF.png" alt="I have a search field in the web page that I would like to locate and search the extension in the page and click on the first search that comes in. Below is the page snippet and HTML code." /></a></p>
  <p>My HTML is like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; placeholder=&quot;Search for extensions&quot; class=&quot;user-input&quot; style=&quot;width: 370px;&quot;&gt;
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>if I try to get the Xpath of the html path I get below Input Text path but I am also not been able to input any text and get below error</p>
  <blockquote>
