How to Scroll to an Element in Playwright

#2

Hi Darran,

In Playwright, you can scroll to an element using the scrollIntoView method. Here’s an example in JavaScript:

const element = await page.locator('your-selector'); // Replace 'your-selector' with the actual selector of your element
await element.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded(); // Scrolls to the element if it's not already in view

This code retrieves the specified element using a selector and then scrolls it into view if it’s not already visible. Adjust the selector according to your specific element.

Note: The scrollIntoViewIfNeeded method is useful to avoid unnecessary scrolling if the element is already in the view.
