# text\_box

A textbox is a common input control in HTML. It is used to collect user input and allow the user to enter text. The most common use of a textbox is to enter search queries on a web page or to enter login credentials on an online form. It is a common input element found in many software programs

When you click on the text box, a cursor is enabled, indicating the user can begin typing.&#x20;

## Automation

How does this work ?

Usually whenever sending a value to the text box, QATTS clears the value and sends the value.

But, There would be some situation where the user cannot send a value. Might get multiple exceptions / sent value will not get displayed.&#x20;

Let's see some questions from automation communities.  [Trouble Shoot](/studio/ui-elements/text_box/trouble-shoot.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.qatts.com/studio/ui-elements/text_box.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
