    <p>I am trying to get Selenium, specifically WebDriver v2.31, to interact with Google Maps. I able to get as far as clicking the [first] Get Directions button to enter a pair of addresses and then click the Get Directions button under the two addresses. This results in a set of driving directions. What I cannot do is get Selenium to scroll to the bottom of the "Directions" panel so I can see the destination and the Save to My Maps link. I don't know if the problem arises because the scroll bar is generated by the browser.</p> <p>I am able to perform a search on Yahoo! and scroll to the bottom of the results webpage; I think it is because there are no other frames or panels in the webpage's architecture. Although that being said, the browser generated the scroll bar, not the webpage.</p> <p>I can build an Action with the mouse holding down and dragging the scroll bar down. I don't like that solution because if the page is sized differently or the panel is sized differently, it will cause a lot of recalculation to perform this action. I would prefer a solution that is similar to the single "document" window in Yahoo! or Google Code.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been racking my brain over the internet for the last three days searching for a solution. </p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Steve</p> <p>Addendum: As noted below. I am not trying to do anything with the map itself but rather the panel that contains the directions. I am using Google Maps because it is similar to an application I will have to test later. I need the ability to have [Selenium] WebDriver scroll to the bottom of the panel so I can select a "Next" link -- just like scrolling to the bottom of the Directions panel in Google Maps and seeing the Save link at the bottom.</p> <p>I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology when I use the term panel. The problem is that it appears the panel generates the scroll bar dynamically when the web page is displayed. </p> <pre><code>driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id("spsizer"))); JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; js.executeScript("javascript:window.scrollBy(250,750)", element); driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately the "panel" is not contained in a frame or is a frame ... as identified by the exception returned by Selenium:</p> <pre><code> Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchFrameException: Element is not a frame element: DIV </code></pre> <p>I believe I have determined that panel has an ID ("spsizer") using FireBug.</p> <p>This also does not work:</p> <pre><code>element = driver.findElement(By.id("spsizer")); JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; js.executeScript("javascript:window.scrollBy(250,750)", element); </code></pre> <p>This just executes without scrolling to the bottom of the Directions panel but it also doesn't throw an exception.</p>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
