Selecting a radio button using selenium webdriver java when out of view

Question

When I am running the below code run, it only works if I actually manage to scroll to the radio button to get it on the screen in time, otherwise the radio button is not selected.

HTML

<label><input name="GenericID1" type="radio" value="5625">&nbsp;Sample;|&nbsp;Sat/15/805B</label>

WebDriver

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://samplewebste.com");
WebElement oCheckBoxTest = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value='5625']"));
oCheckBoxTest.click();

Does anyone have any idea why I actually have to manually scroll to the radio to get it to select actually work, otherwise the command just seems to be ignored without throwing any exceptions?

Answer 1

Try following code to scroll to required element and click on it:

WebElement oCheckBoxTest = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value='5625']"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(oCheckBoxTest);
actions.click();
actions.perform();

If it not works, try with JavaScript :

WebElement oCheckBoxTest = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value='5625']"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", oCheckBoxTest);
oCheckBoxTest.click()
