How to test scroll scenario using SELENIUM IDE

Question

I'm totally a newbie in terms of using Selenium ide or any automation testing tool. Now i'm stuck with this scenario: after testing elements 1 & 2 on top of the page, i need to scroll down a bit to test the elements just below 1 & 2. I've read something about using while and endWhile commands but you have to insert user-extension.js file first. [Link: http://www.software-testing-tutorials-automation.com/2013/09/how-to-generate-mouse-scrolling-event.html]. Problem is, it doesn't work. Any help guys? Thanks much!!

What do you want to do exactly? You dont have to scroll 'manually', selenium should do it automatically if you want for example click element — kotoj

you can use javascript scroll down the page :

public void javaScriptToScrollDownPage(WebDriver driver, String coordinatevalue) throws KDTKeywordExecException {
        try {
            ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("scroll(0, " + coordinatevalue + ")");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new KDTKeywordExecException("Not able to scroll down the page", e);
        }
    }

I have created as a function, can use this. You have to change the coordinate value ie how much you want to scroll down

Similarly for scrolling up:

public void javaScriptToScrollUpPage(WebDriver driver, String coordinatevalue) throws KDTKeywordExecException {
        try {
            ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("scroll(" + coordinatevalue + ",0)");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new KDTKeywordExecException("Not able to scroll up the page", e);
        }
    }
