Scrolling to top of the page in Python using Selenium

I'm having issues with scrolling to the top of the web page when using Python and Selenium.

When the page loads for some reason you are taken to the bottom of the page (this is due to be fixed). However, when I'm trying to scroll to the top it does not work.

I tried the following:

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

And

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

I have also tried locating the element then scrolling to it:

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

The above scrollIntoView() code works when scrolling down to the element. However, it does not work scrolling up.

I have tried this running Chrome Driver and PhantomJs.

Any suggestions?

Please try this: 

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

from selenium import webdriver

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 "-500" you may vary 
#according to your use 

driver.execute_script("scrollBy(0,-500);")
sleep(3)
t=t-1       # it`s a part of the loop

This will surely help you :)

There are 4 ways to scroll up or down

1)scroll by pixel

driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0,0)","")

2)scroll down until the element is not found

element=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"xpath of element")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();",element)

3)scroll till the end of the page

driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0,document.body.scrollHeight)")

  1. using Action Chains

    elementpos=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"xpath of element")
    actions=ActionChains(driver) actions.move_to_element(elementpos).perform()

You can use document.body.scrollTop: a javascript variable which contains the value by what the page had been scrolled down before that. like this : driver.execute_script("scrollBy(0,-document.body.scrollTop)")
