ElementNotVisible Exception | Selenium Forum

 Posted on 19/11/2015
Hi ,

In one of my application I am trying to scroll to an element.
I have to test it on both browsers IE 10 and Chrome 40

I have used the following code

WebElement elementpincode =driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[id*='0Address_Postcode']"));
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
// Click on the PostCode
action.moveToElement(elementpincode).click().perform();
//Type PostCode
elementpincode.sendKeys("HP2 4NW");

This works fine for chrome but for IE its giving ElementNotVisible Exception error (its not scrolling to the control)

ie driver has a lot problems/bugs.

i would like you to add a wait statement. and try again.

I tried using wait but this did not help.

Please see the error details I get in Eclipse :
