I am using Java and Selenium to write a test. the target application has some inner pages, and I need to scroll to top of a web element in one the pages. I used:

jse.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollTop", element);

but it did not work, I also used scrollIntoView but it did not work as the element is covered by another element.

    You may want to add the mark-up for the page to your question. As it stands now, there isn't enough information to provide an answer. – Brian Feb 09 '16 at 21:57
  • I used `scrollIntoView(false)` and it worked – LoveJavaTwo Feb 09 '16 at 22:23

Update Just saw your comment, glad you got it working in a more succinct way.

Make the element in the foreground invisible, then use scrollIntoView().

...Something like jse.executeScript('arguments[0].style.visibility="hidden"', element)?

My Python solution, it should translate easily:

def makeInvisible(driver, element):
    driver.execute_script('arguments[0].style.visibility="hidden"', element)

I usually get the element by xpath and then pass it to that function. You can also double-check if something is hidden with an equivalent for:

def isInvisible(driver, element):
    return driver.execute_script('return window.getComputedStyle(arguments[0]).display === \'none\'', element)

And of course write a function to make an element visible again with the above. Hope that helps!
