I tried scroll(x,y) using javascript in Internet Explorer 10 . But, it did not work when I tried executing the script for a website. What is the equivalent for the same in IE ? It's a part of a Java Selenium test. I need to scroll in the page. So, I do that by executing a javascript code by using javascript executor.

for(int i=0;i<X;i+=Y)   
String cmd = "window.scrollTo(0,"+i+")";    
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(cmd);

I use the above code in my test to scroll the page. But, in Internet Explorer IE10 it doesn't work.

The correct syntax would be window.scrollTo(xpos,ypos). This works in all major browsers, read about the function here.

why don't you try to scrollIntoView the element like this

JavascriptExecutor jse=(JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("document.getElementById(<id>).scrollIntoView(true)");

Faced similar issue. This works for me as an alternative for window.scrollTo JS method in all browsers.

I had the same issue, but with IE 9.

I found that

executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,100)")

did not work, but

executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,100);")

did work. Note the ";" at the end of the executed mand.

Apparently there are issues with JavascriptExecutor in certain versions of IE10. Here provides a possible workaround but I have not tried it myself.

I am using below method for scrolling in case of Internet explorer (where element is the reference of WebElement, which needs to be scrolled to center of screen):

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-300)", "");

For other browsers, I am using:

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView({block: \"center\"});", element);

Both of these will scroll the element to center of screen.

Do not forget to replace the desired locator instead of element.
