How to scroll to the input area of a form using browser operations

Posted on by 丸0-26110242-0

I have been using RPA for several years, but there is one page on the editing screen of the EC admin page where I just can't get it to work when inputting data into multiple places. The editing page is about the size of three pages.

After trying various things, I found that scrolling to the position where I want to input data works well.

Is there a way to achieve this with an action?

None of the operations I tried - "entering data into a text field," "focusing on a text field," or "pointing the mouse at an element on the page" - worked.

This is because sometimes the page does not scroll.

Does the editing actions (populate text on web page?) go to error if the element is not on screen or does it just continue like it did the action even though no data had been input into the field?

If the elements are static you could use PageDown or arrow keys down to scroll the page.
So focus on the window and with Send keys -action use {PageDown} or {Next} to use PageDown key.

Or you could use Javascript to scroll to a certain element.

For example:
function ExecuteScript() { const targetElement = document.querySelector('Your Selector Here'); if (targetElement) { targetElement.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'center' }); } else { console.error('Element not found.'); } }

You can use browser Inspect to get the selector. So find the element in the Inspect and Copy selector.

So it's a method that uses Javascript. I see. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.
