I don't personally use 'recorders' but tools like this are an immense help for getting new team members up to speed until they get a grasp on effectively using Firebug. There are no Watir recorders per se. However, tools such as this one and Webmetrics offer help to new testers that don't have a pr

My guess, not tested is that you'll have to fire an event on element in Firewatir. This isn't the cleanest api right now, but scrollIntoView on IE is a direct call into the underlying ole object. In Firewatir, it'd be a js call, similar to this: http://www.roseindia.net/javascript/javascript-scroll
