How to get textbox value using Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am using Selenium library for testing.

I have this little code:

Dim driver As New FirefoxDriver()
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("C:\Users\Amodio\Desktop\HTMLPage1.htm")
driver.FindElement(By.Id("30")).SendKeys("1234")
MsgBox(driver.FindElement(By.Id("30")).Text)

The problem is that, in the messagebox i cannot see the value of the control.

It can send keys correctly, but in the next line code cannot catch the value.

What kind of element is it? An input?

Like what you said in your question title, you want to show textbox's value.

For textboxes, element.GetAttribute("value") is the one you want, rather than element.Text.

MsgBox(driver.FindElement(By.Id("30")).GetAttribute("value"))
