There was an attempt to perform an action at a point, which is beyond the screen

Getting the above issue which I have seen has been seen before but those resolutions are not working for me. It an AngularJS web app. Most objects in the page only support 'click' or 'keys'   This...

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?

        function ClickByXpath(xPathTemp)
        {

        /* convert String to object */
        var xPath = ConvertToObject(xPathTemp);

        //Waits upto 10 seconds for page to load
        Sys.Browser("*").Page("*").Wait("10000");
        xPath.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded()
        waitUntilObjectIsVisible(""+ xPath + "");
        Sys.Browser("*").Page("*").FindChildByXPath(xPath).Click();
