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.

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!
