# Scroll on a page

Some websites won't load content on a page until the user has scrolled to the bottom. An agent can scroll down to load more items, pause, capture additional items, and repeat until the full list is captured.

#### Scroll Element

*Scroll Element* or *Scroll Item* is a stand-alone action that loads all items before capture, or scrolls to a certain point on the page before performing an action.

In the Agent Builder:

1. Enter a URL.
2. Select **Add Action**.
3. Select **Scroll Item**.

1. Select **YES**, to have the scroll bar show items in the main page.  

Or,  

Select **NO**, to scroll on a window within the page.

1. Place the scroll item on your current page. Most of the time,  a *Scroll Item* action will go before a *Begin Item List*.

By default, the*Scroll Item* action instructs your agent to scroll through an entire page before performing any other action.

To change the scroll pixels:

1. Right-click on the **Scroll Element** capture.
2. Select **Properties**.
3. Adjust the scroll speed and other scroll features.

          Note

          

*Scroll Item* added to your action list will say "300px". This indicates that the action will scroll 300 pixels at a time. This scroll length would work for most pages, but you can adjust the number of pixels to ensure that the content loads correctly.

#### Scrolling a page list

The*Scrolling page list* scrolls down until more results are added, captures the data and repeats this process for every scroll. It is always attached to a *Begin Item List*.

1. Select **YES**, to have the scroll bar show items on the main page. Or, Select **NO**, to scroll on a window within the page.
2. Set the scrolling Page List action to **Wait for AJAX**.

1. Select **Test Agent** on top toolbar.
2. Select **Start**.

Confirm that the data is captured correctly into a new column in the *Captured Text Preview* window.
