I am trying to click a Submit button with no id so am using Action Move Mouse to Text On Screen. The problem I am having is the button is "pushed" offscreen or mostly offscreen sometimes because the content above it on the page gets taller in some iterations of a loop . In this case, I get an error: couldn't find text. I tried both of the following javascript functions, but neither caused scrolling down. Why isn't the javascript working? Or is there a better way to do it.

-----------------------

function ExecuteScript()
{
window.scroll(0,700);
}

--------------------------

function ExecuteScript()
{
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);

Which JavaScript action are you using? Are you simply running a JavaScript, or are you executing a JavaScript function on a web page?

Also, have you tried using Send keys to send a PageDown click?

Hi Agnius,
Thanks for responding. I tried send keys. It didnt work. Here is a screenshot of my javascript action.
Should I try an actual script? I don't know why it doesn't work. I think I have a workaround. I found that if I tab a specific number of times I will get to the submit button. O Error I can go to a subflow which will do the tabbing. That may work but I would like to get the scroll working

Have you tried using Execute JavaScript function on web page instead?

I tried Run Javascript Function on Web Page but it didn't cause a scroll. I have a workaround that is a a loop of 20 tabs before I move the mouse. This gets the submit button to appear. I don't like this solution but I will use it until I figure out how to scroll.
