scolling an element using Execute Javascript

[Rob Bovill]

     Does anyone know how to scroll an element (a list) using Execute Javascript in Selenium WebDriver (selenium2library)?  I can reference the element using css, xpath, and maybe DOM.  I just don't know JavaScript, and there seems to be a lot of problems with this particular functionality, so the documentation I've found has been helpful.

thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

I'm not 100% sure what you want to do. If you want scrolling a located element of a list into view, you could try:

with id:

    Execute Javascript    window.document.getElementById("your id goes here").scrollIntoView(true);

with xpath:

    Execute Javascript    window.document.evaluate("your xpath goes here", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue.scrollIntoView(true);

That should do the trick.

Hope that helps somehow,

Markus

Hi Markus and all,

What I am trying to accomplish:

1. Click a dropdown menu

2. Scroll down (as the item I want to select is not visible)

3. Select an item from dropdown menu

Using the command that Markus posted doesn't seem to work on my case:

Execute Javascript window.document.evaluate("xpath=//.jspPane > li:nth-child(6)", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue.scrollIntoView(true);

Using Firefox inspector, I found the item I want is: .jspPane > li:nth-child(6).

Thanks,

Hi Markus,

     

    I have used the below mentioned keyword for scrolling.

Execute Javascript    window.document.evaluate("your xpath goes here", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue.scrollIntoView(true);

But it didn't work fine, displayed error

"WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Runtime.evaluate threw exception: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

(Session info: chrome=41.0.2272.101) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.13.307647 (5a7d0541ebc58e69994a6fb2ed930f45261f3c29),platform=Windows NT 6.1 SP1 x86)"

please suggest a solution for this.
