Why did the type command stop executing in selenium IDE and what should I do?

Question

IDE

I am writing a test in selenium IDE.
I use input in a text field using the type command. I specify the element locator where the data and the text itself are entered.
In html example:
type
id=login_partner
Login
At some point, the command stopped working: no data is entered in the field. Thus the test in Eclipse is fulfilled without an error.
What should I do to fix the problem or is there some other way to enter text?

Answer 1

The selenim2 doc says "You may need to click somewhere on the page for the type command to be recorded." It only worked for me after I clicked on submit. Maybe this is the issue?
