make Selenium not think something is loading in IE

Question

I have some tests that work fine on chrome and firefox but with IE they seem to get to some page (not always the same one) and then stay there for a long time doing nothing. I am using IE 11(latest version ) on windows 7 and selenium 3.0.1 and ie driver 2.53.1 . I tried going to some old selenium version with old ie driver versions but I can't find a stable combination.

So my question is If i want to run the tests on IE 11 what version of selenium and ie driver should I use??

UPDATE:

I now know the cause of the problem. There is an input option, when it is selected a form shows , Selenium thinks some script is still loading although it has finished and stays waiting forever

Answer 1

Try once using Actions as Actions act = new Actions(driver); act.sendKeys(element, "Testingusername");
