Need to scroll down for locating an Element with Selenium

0 votes
So is there a way to scroll down or up so as to locate an element using XPath? I'm aware of a focus method in Selenium, but it does not physically scroll to within the view of FireFox browser window. I'm doing this because I'm testing the click on an element on a page. But, the event doesn't seem to work unless the element is visible. Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

There are a couple of options for doing this. Either use a JavaScript executor method or use Actions() method.

JavaScript Executor method:

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

Actions method:

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