What should i say element.getText() returns "" and fails (this is used by
junit code gen) but element.getAttribute("value") works (using ff
webdriver).
but thx for the hint with InputElement: but i can't find class/ or
interface "InputElement" and there is no getProperty(String) in
"org.openqa.selenium.WebElement"
(i use selenium-java 2.24.1).
