How to get the scroll into view to work in Chrome. Using selenium web driver

[Hil Participant Topics: 34 Replies: 46 Points: 265Rank: Contributor]

I need to scroll down the page to the NEXT button. Only when the NEXT button is visible it can be clicked on. So I need to get the “scroll into view” to work.

PowerShell

$browser = Start-SeChrome $browser.Navigate().GoToURL($url) ForEach ($A_Element in (Find-SeElement -Driver $browser -TagName a)) { If ($A_Element.Text -Notlike "Next"){Conitnue} $A_Element.ScrollIntoView() #Invoke-SeClick -Element $A_Element #$A_Element.Click() sleep 2 Break }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

$browser = Start-SeChrome $browser.Navigate().GoToURL($url)   ForEach ($A_Element in (Find-SeElement -Driver $browser -TagName a))          {     If ($A_Element.Text -Notlike "Next"){Conitnue}     $A_Element.ScrollIntoView()     #Invoke-SeClick -Element $A_Element           #$A_Element.Click()     sleep 2     Break            }

The only thing I see in the code is that ‘Continue’ is spelled incorrectly.

PowerShell

If ($A_Element.Text -Notlike "Next"){Conitnue}

1	If ($A_Element.Text -Notlike "Next"){Conitnue}

Outside of that, you many need to find a forum specifically for Selenium as asking about usage is a bit to broad of an audience.

<textarea class=”urvanov-syntax-highlighter-plain print-no” style=”-moz-tab-size: 4; font-size: 14px !important; line-height: 18px !important; z-index: 0; opacity: 0;” readonly=”readonly” data-settings=”dblclick”>If ($A_Element.Text -Notlike “Next”){Conitnue} </textarea>

Yes sorry for the CONTINUE. This code is part of a larger code, so I had to put in just the lines that were relevant and messed up the continue. That was not the cause of concern through. It was the ScrollIntoView() that was the problem.

I did go through other sites and I did find scripts in other languages for the same issue, but I was not able to convert them to powershell  or get the necessary component to run correctly … Like:
