Scrolling using Selenium WebDriver with Java

Question

I am using Selenium WebDriver to automate my browser tests. My browser header is floating and is always present irrespective of the browser scroll.

So when I click on certain elements that are present below the current visible region of the browser, selenium tries to scroll the element into view and click them.

But because of the auto scrolling as such the elements are scrolled behind the floating header and when any action is performed on them, the elements in the page header get clicked.

is there any way to limit the default scroll of the WebDriver?

Answer 1

    Locatable hoverItem = (Locatable) driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[text()='Reklama w Google']"));
    int y = hoverItem.getCoordinates().getLocationOnScreen().getY();
    ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,"+y+");");

If you want to scroll on the firefox window using selenium webdriver, one of the way is to use javaScript in the java code, The javeScript code to scroll down is as follows:

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