Not able to use send_keys method to set the text of a division using Watir

Question

I have trouble setting the text of a division using the send_keys method. This is what I m trying to set:

d = browser.div(id: "editor").p.send_keys "Hello"
puts d

and

d = browser.div(id: "editor").send_keys "Hello"
puts d 

None of these works, error message is the following:

Answer 1

You can try do it, using execute_script it seems like:

p = browser.div(id: "editor").p
browser.execute_script('execute_script('arguments[0].innerHTML = "Hello";', p)
