jquery is a javascript library. You would typically use it in a web page. It has nothing to do with csharp. — davestevens, Oct 08 '15 at 12:35
an easy way for having experience with jQuery is web console. You can try it on you project if jQuery is implemented. — Mesut GUNES, Oct 08 '15 at 12:41
i'm using C# for writing my tests, and that scrollbar is created in jQuery, so if jQuery belongs to javascript, how i can implement javascript in my code? Is there any possibility?? — Janer, Oct 08 '15 at 12:50

Look into ExecuteScript() to execute custom javascript in a browser with selenium:

IWebElement element = driver.FindElement(By.Id("myid"));
IJavaScriptExecutor js = driver as IJavaScriptExecutor;
js.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].mCustomScrollbar('scrollTo', 200);", element);

You can't. jQuery is a Javascript library for webdevelopment. You can only use jQuery in Javascript files (or script blocks in your HTML).

and using java in c# either is not possible in simple way. I figured it out few min ago. so i just need to write my tests in java directly. Thx for trying help me :) – Janer Oct 08 '15 at 13:38
You can't use javascript* (if you mean that) in C# no, only in ASP.NET (which is used to create websites). If you mean java, I don't know how it's related to this question. – Joshua Bakker Oct 08 '15 at 13:40
Try not to simply say 'It cannot be done'. The entire point is there are cases where you may need to use javascript inside C#. It's possible, see this this example: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/7d3362/use-javascript-function-in-window-application-C-Sharp1/ Not the cleanest example, but it displays using javascript in C# (though admittedly not in the same context as within this question). – Allen Clark Copeland Jr Mar 03 '20 at 18:17

My finally code to use jQuery based on alecxe code is

string cssElement = driver.FindElement(By.||all the way u want||).GetAttribute("id");
IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver;
js.ExecuteScript("$(\"#\"+\"" + cssElement + "\".replace(/:/g,\"\\\\:\")).mCustomScrollbar('scrollTo',[200,0]);");

it's working (for me). If some problem try first change barlocation and element location. it's for vertical bar ;)

I hope that help someone in future
