What is smooth scrolling? How can we perform it in Selenium Java?

Hey Tim,

Smooth scrolling refers to the gradual and visually smoother movement of the page content when scrolling, as opposed to the default instantaneous jump from one position to another.

We can achieve smooth scrolling by using the scrollTo() method with the behavior smooth.

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' });");

I hope this helped.

Hey Tim,

Another way to achieve smooth scrolling is by using JavaScriptExecutor to scroll to a specific element. Here’s an example:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id(“element-id”)); ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(“arguments[0].scrollIntoView({ behavior: ‘smooth’, block: ‘center’, inline: ‘center’ });”, element);
