scrollIntoView() is scrolling to much down

I have test in selenium (using Python and FirefoxWebdriver). In test website I have table of records and I want to click on element in this table, but i have to scroll to this element and then I can click on it.

To scroll I'm using this method:

def scroll_to_element(self, element):
    try:
        self.driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)

    except Exception as e:
        print 'error scrolling down web element', e

But this method scrolls to much down. Element is cca 2 lines upper and still isn't visible. Is there any other way, that scrolls corectly to the Element? I'm not experienced with these scripts at all.

Here is table:

<table id="idMainGriddata_columns" agname="data_columns" userid="1" entityidcolumnname="dc_id" editable="1" border="0" class="adodb_dbgrid" scrollx="0">
    <colgroup>
        <col width="25">
        # ...
    </colgroup>
    <tbody>
        <tr entityid="14" class="adodb_dbgrid_even_row">
            <td class="centered" value="14">...</td>
            # ...
        </tr>
        # ... 400x tr
    </tbody>
</table>

and here is use of that method:

variable = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//table[@id='idMainGriddata_columns']/tbody/tr/td[contains(text(), '" + column + "')]")
st.scroll_to_element(self, variable)
actions = ActionChains(self.driver)
actions.move_to_element(variable)
actions.double_click(variable)
actions.perform()

Solution 1

If you only need to click the element you just can do:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//table[@id='idMainGriddata_columns']/tbody/tr/td[contains(text(), '" + column + "')]").click()

And if you have Js implemented for that it should scroll into it.

Solution 2 (dirty way)

If your column variable is integer:

column += 2

Solution 3

Add alignToTop to your scrollIntoView:

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