Hello Zepri, did you try to use snedKeys()? also there is possibility to use javascript to set text in any html object. please take look at this discussion > **[How to create test case to write text into Redactor Editor?](http://forum.katalon.com/discussion/7659/how-to-create-test-case-to-write-text-into-redactor-editor)** > > Hi,  We can't create test case to write inside Redactor editor. Both using recorder and web spy, it will record div\_ as object. ---

I’ve see this code. in this link, have object. but in my case, I don’t have specific object, because I only get object table, and identify cell using looping. ---

that error is because you are trying to use selnium WebElement instad of Katalon in script you posted in 1st post use ```auto Columns_rowEmployeAddSalaryComponent.get(6).findElement(By.xpath('//input')).sendKeys('100') ``` instead of Columns\_rowEmployeAddSalaryComponent.get(6).sendKeys(1) ---

what this ```auto findElement(By.xpath('//div[@class="dx-texteditor-container"]/input')).sendKeys('100') ``` will do is - find first input element of class dx-texteditor-container and send key to it. it looks like first element of that kind is field for Name, next one is salary - field you actually want update. to check that please try use following: ```auto findElement(By.xpath('(//div[@class="dx-texteditor-container"]/input)[1]')).sendKeys('100') ``` [Next page](https://forum.katalon.com/t/set-text-in-cell-on-table/12647.md?page=2)
