Scrolling to the top of a page in Python using Selenium

I am having problems scrolling up to the top of a webpage when using Python and Selenium.

When the page loads for any reason, you are taken to the bottom of the page (this should be fixed). However, when I try to scroll to the top it doesn't work.

I tried the following:

self.driver.execute_script("scroll(0, -250);")

and

self.driver.execute_script("scroll(0, 0);")

I also tried to find the element and then loop through it:

self.driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", element)

The above scrollIntoView () code works when scrolling down to an element. However, scrolling doesn't work.

I've tried using Chrome Driver and PhantomJs.

Any suggestions?

You can first view item in HTML DOM

, then we can view scroll

item in like this: Viewport 



element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("element_xpath")
self.driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)

You can just use CTRL + HOME keys. It will scroll to the top of the page.



driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + Keys.HOME)

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("__")

#to scroll try use the following command
driver.execute_script("scrollBy(0,250);")

This will work !!

Please try this:

driver.execute_script("document.querySelector('div[role=dialog] ul').parentNode.scrollTop=1e100")

from selenium import webdriver

if you want to scroll to the bottom of the page:

t=10
while t:
#if you want to scroll to the end of the page,use this


driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight);")
    sleep(3)

#if you want to scroll down upto some level use this, here i used "1000" you may vary 
#it according to your use


driver.execute_script("scrollBy(0,+1000);")
    sleep(3)

#if you want to scroll some level up, use this,again i used here "-1000" you may vary 
#according to your use 

driver.execute_script("scrollBy(0,+1000);")
sleep(3)
t=t-1       # it a part of the loop

It will definitely help you :)
