Sent user to page bottom by javascript

Question

I am trying to send user to the bottom of page

by javascript

I am trying this code

window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight);

it does not work

but if i try

window.scrollTo(0,9999999999999999);

it works very well

Is page height can be greater than 9999999999999999 ?

Or there is better way?

Try this:

document.body.scrollTop = document.body.scrollHeight;
document.documentElement.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollHeight;

@AlaaGamal—use both, e.g. `window.scrollTo(0, document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop)`. Most browsers want the first, some the second. – RobG Oct 09 '12 at 03:39
A few years ago `document.body.scrollTop = document.body.scrollHeight;` was working at Google Chrome, now only `document.documentElement.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollHeight;` works. – Konard Apr 11 '19 at 20:06

You can always send them to Number.MAX_VALUE, that is guaranteed to be the biggest possible.

For Scroll down in Selenium use below code:

JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;  
// (driver is your browser webdriver object)
jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,document.body.scrollHeight || document.documentElement.scrollHeight)", "");

For scroll up use below code:

jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-document.body.scrollHeight || -document.documentElement.scrollHeight)", "");
