Selenium webdriver problem with finding element

Question

I have problem with finding element on login page. I need to test login procedure. Web page where I have problem is part of SAP Business Object platform so it's not world wide. There is strange naming convention and I cannot send keys to user and password input element. It looks like this:

<div class="logonRow" id="_id0:logon:USERNAME:row">
<div class="logonLabel">
<label for="_id0:logon:USERNAME">Nazwa użytkownika:</label>
</div>
<div class="logonInput">
<input type="text" id="_id0:logon:USERNAME" name="_id0:logon:USERNAME" value="">
</div>

I'm using below java code. I tested it on other pages and it's working fine.

WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.name("_id0:logon:USERNAME"));
loginName.clear();
loginName.sendKeys(userName);

I will much appreciate advises.

PS.

I tried this with no luck:

WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.id("_id0:logon:USERNAME"));
WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='_id0:logon:USERNAME']"));
WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.cssSelector("label[for='_id0:logon:USERNAME']"));
WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.xpath("//label[@for='_id0:logon:USERNAME']"));

Here is error I receive:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: label[for='_id0:logon:USERNAME']

maybe you should try to get the element by ID.

Try one of these:

WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.ID("_id0:logon:USERNAME"));
WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='_id0:logon:USERNAME']"));

Hi, I tried this with no luck. Any other ideas? I added page source.

As per the HTML you have shared to send a character sequence to the USERNAME field you can use either of the following solutions:

cssSelector:

WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.cssSelector("label[for='_id0:logon:USERNAME']"));
loginName.clear();
loginName.sendKeys(userName);

xpath:

WebElement loginName = wd.findElement(By.xpath("//label[@for='_id0:logon:USERNAME']"));
loginName.clear();
loginName.sendKeys(userName);

@dudemar Your comment doesn't helps me either. Sorry, the answer didn't help you to solve your problem but how am I going to improve my post with that feedback?

I hoped you would look into page source provided by me (ufile.io/dqvbh). But nevermind I solved this issue.

Well, you never updated me that you have updated the question with the page source. Anyways, good luck.
