I tried following code and it is giving an error saying element not found
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#id='username']")).sendKeys("qa");

Answer 1

Try below :-
driver.get("https://retail.onlinesbi.com/retail/login.htm");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(.,'CONTINUE TO LOGIN')])[2]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#id='username']")).sendKeys("test");
Full code :-
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:\\Workspace\\FluentWaitTest\\src\\lib\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://retail.onlinesbi.com/retail/login.htm");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(.,'CONTINUE TO LOGIN')])[2]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#id='username']")).sendKeys("test");
If still not work then their can be some frame or other tag present which same attributes

Answer 2

This may be due to the cause that the element are not loaded when you are trying to open the url http://retail.onlinesbi.com/retail/login.htm. You have to click CONTINUE TO LOGIN button first then you get your input boxes.
