<div class="redactor_redactor_content_cv redactor_ui-wizard-content redactor_editor" 

  contenteditable="true" dir="ltr" style="min-height: 200px;"> <p>​</p> </div> <textarea 

   id="personalStatement" class="redactor_content_cv ui-wizard-content" width="98%" 

   height="100px" name="personalStatement" dir="ltr" style="display: none;"> </textarea>

  • I'd be surprised if it *did* work. Geb (and Selenium) interact with a UI. Here you're effectively trying to emulate the user typing into an invisible field, which can't (shouldn't) be done. I suspect you'd have to use `js.exec` or some clever CSS tricks to display the field stealthily before you could interact with it using Geb. – inanutshellus Jan 09 '14 at 16:17

Use send keys method for entering values in textarea.

$("#personalStatement").firstElement().sendKeys("Test")
