ViewsScrolling element into view using javascrpit in RSelenium
I have following page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)
I want to scroll until Milestones heading so that it is visible in browser,
My code,
library(RSelenium)
driver = rsDriver(browser = c("firefox"))
remDr <- driver[["client"]]
url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)'
remDr$navigate(url)
I know that,
webElem <- remDr$findElement("css", "html")
webElem$sendKeysToElement(list(key="end"))
and
remDr$executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight);")
gets me to the end of page.

We can scroll using java script to get the element (Milestone) into view by,
#navigate to webpage
url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)'
remDr$navigate(url)
Identify the element,
ele = remDr$findElement(using = "xpath",'//*[@id="Milestones"]')
#scroll into view
remDr$executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", list(ele))
Additional info,
To scroll to the middle of the page we can use,
remDr$executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight/2);")
