click is one of the commands in Selenium IDE.

Why we have to click inside the text area field as shown above?

There may be some situations where you need to first click inside the text area field before entering the text into it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enter the text into the text area field without first clicking inside it.

Let’s get started.
