Hi,

 

> things like 'scrolltoview/scrolltoviewifneeded

The method is called scrollIntoView(true/false) and is supported by all browsers.

If I use scrollintoview I get the message that it is not supported by the object.

I presumed this is because when I spy the object it only supports methods 'click' and 'keys'?

 

Am I missing something?

    Case sensitivity...  depending upon your scripting language, you HAVE to reference the method as scrollIntoView.

      I am using Javascript.

      No matter the case sensitivity I use I get the same message : "Object doesn't support this property or method"

        Interesting.  One option is to do a check of "VisibleOnScreen'.  If that returns false, send a PageDown keystroke to your page object.

         

        I'm curious, though... as mentioned, scrollIntoView is pretty globally supported for any UI elements on a web page.  Can you post a) the code that you're attempting to execute the scrollIntoView on and b) screenshots of the Advanced properties and methods on your object?
