DS coordinates out of window, needs scrolling

Sometimes, you need to scroll a page in order to reach the position, that DS should automate.

This can be done by adding a TAG on an HTML element near the place you want to use DS. The TAG will make the browser scroll, making the DS position available.

Example: Newsletter subscription not visible (needs scrolling):

To make macro scroll, add a TAG element near position (Here: the "Go" button in the upper right)

Now you can use DS for filling in the mail address.
(Note: this is just an example. you don't need DS in this case.)
