Powershell with Selenium: I cannot get the "scroll into view" to work

I need to scroll down the page to the NEXT button. Only the NEXT button is visible can it clicked on. So I need to get the scroll into view to work.

$browser = Start-SeChrome
$browser.Navigate().GoToURL($url)

ForEach ($A_Element in (Find-SeElement -Driver $browser -TagName a))      
   { 
    If ($A_Element.Text -Notlike "Next"){Conitnue} 
    $A_Element.ScrollIntoView()
    #Invoke-SeClick -Element $A_Element       
    #$A_Element.Click() 
    sleep 2
    Break         
   }

I encountered this same issue again while working on a different script and have a better solution this time. These lines can be executed from Powershell directly, which is basically a call to Javascript. Its a combination of the answer provided by @bluecrimson9001 (above) and https://www.javascripttutorial.net/javascript-dom/javascript-scrollintoview/

#----Scroll into view----
$browser.executeScript("
  Ref_Element = arguments[0];
  Ref_Element.scrollIntoView();
  ", $A_Element)
#----Scroll into view----

Depending on how your webpage is designed, you can try to execute JavaScript code within your PowerShell code by trying this:

$browser.ExecuteScript("javascript code goes here").

You could try something like:

$browser.ExecuteScript("document.scrollTo($($A_Element.Location.X),$($A_Element.Location.Y))")

I afraid there is something called ScrollIntoView for powershell. However there are ways to scroll down. You can use either of below two methods :

To press down arrow 10 times:

[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait({{DOWN 10}})

To Scroll to a particular location:

[int]$horizontalLoc=0
[int]$verticalLoc= 90
browser.Document.parentWindow.scroll($horizontalLoc,$verticalLoc)

You can try executing the javascript code for scrolling:

    document.scrollIntoView();

execute this js code on your element. In c# it looks like this:

 ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("document.querySelector(arguments[0]).scrollIntoView();", A_Element);
