Scrolling to Element Using Webdriver

Scroll Element into View with Selenium

Selenium 2 tries to scroll to the element and then click on it. This is because Selenium 2 will not interact with an element unless it thinks that it is visible.

Scrolling to the element happens implicitly so you just need to find the item and then work with it.

Scrolling to element using webdriver?

You are trying to run Java code with Python. In Python/Selenium, the org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions are reflected in ActionChains class:

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

element = driver.find_element_by_id("my-id")

actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(element).perform()

Or, you can also "scroll into view" via scrollIntoView():

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)

If you are interested in the differences:

• scrollIntoView vs moveToElement

How to scroll UP to an element and click in selenium?

Up or Down to scrollIntoView() an element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibilityOfElementLocated() and you can use the following solution:

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("element"))));

Having trouble scrolling down to element in Selenium, python

You are using

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")

which is basically, to scroll to the bottom of the page.

Please use this :

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
element.click()

this will basically scroll into the element view and element will be available in Selenium view port.

Is there a way to scroll up a particular div element in a webpage using selenium with PYTHON?

Yes, there are multiple ways using which you could scroll to particular element

By using the move_to_element()

 element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("_element_")

 action = ActionChains(driver)
 action.move_to_element(element).perform()

By scrollIntoView()

 element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("_element_")
 driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
