Scroll Element into View with Selenium

Question

Have tried many things with respect to scroll, but the below code has provided better results.

This will scroll until the element is in view:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("id_of_element"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Thread.sleep(500); 

//do anything you want with the element

You can use the org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions class to move to an element.

Java:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("my-id"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element);
actions.perform();

Python:

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(driver.sl.find_element_by_id('my-id')).perform()

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
        js.executeScript("javascript:window.scrollBy(250,350)");

You may want to try this.

Targeting any element and sending down keys (or up/left/right) seems to work also. I know this is a bit of a hack, but I'm not really into the idea of using JavaScript to solve the scrolling problem either.

For example:

WebElement.sendKeys(Keys.DOWN);

If you want to scroll on the Firefox window using the Selenium webdriver, one of the ways is to use JavaScript in the Java code. The JavaScript code to scroll down (to bottom of the web page) is as follows:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, Math.max(document.documentElement.scrollHeight, document.body.scrollHeight, document.documentElement.clientHeight));");

In Selenium we need to take the help of a JavaScript executor to scroll to an element or scroll the page:

je.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

In the above statement element is the exact element where we need to scroll. I tried the above code, and it worked for me.
