scroll a webpage when the scrollbar is hidden - selenium

Question

My webpage's scrollbar is hidden but appears when I move my cursor and gets hidden again.

What I need is to scroll down the webpage to hover over an element and then click on a button (button appears when hover over the element).

I tried using javascript, actions() but those didn't make me happy.

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,100);");

can you paste your code here ? Also you can try to press page down button if you want — SeleniumUser

public void scrollIntoElement() { ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(100,0);"); } And I cannot try pressing the page down button as I don't have any element to send keys, I mean no any text field elements. — UbaidM

Alright, so you cant use action class because it required element for a moment. — SeleniumUser

@Rock I tried the following as well. 'public void scrollIntoElement(WebElement element) throws InterruptedException { ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(false);", element); }' — UbaidM

To scroll down please refer below code:

  JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

 // This  will scroll down the page by  1000 pixel vertical     
     js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,1000)");

when you know which element you are looking for, you can scroll down directly to the element like this:

suppose your element is as below:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("id_of_element"));

now you can scroll to element :

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

I tried this, but this isn't working, neither error messages nor scroll.
