I have a webbrowser and I want that when navigate to a site the browser scroll down to find a html element called "submit". example this code if for scroll down to a position:
browser.document.window.ScrollTo(0,100)
but I want to find a htmlelement like "submit" because this element has different positions in each site.

Pretty good question (after clarification). Of course scrolling to a location by coordinate would not solve the problem.

How do you know how to identify the element? There can be multiple text "Submit" on the page, etc. Is there any universal way to find it? As I understand, you want to navigate through some pages which are not yours.

I think the only reliable way to navigate to desired place is by URL. The element should either have an argument id or be marked with the anchor element a with the unique attribute name. For example, let's assume you have a Web page served under the URL http://www.myDomain.org/myPage.html with the button, optionally marked with a anchor.

HTML

<a name="scrollHere">
<button id="here" >Submit</button>

So, to navigate to the button based on anchor, use the URL

http://www.myDomain.org/myPage.html#scrollHere

If the anchor is not present but the button has the attribute name you can use it as well:

http://www.myDomain.org/myPage.html#here
