I'm having problems trying to apply scrolling to my HTML. The idea is to have a grid. Which can be scrolled vertically. But I also want to have a part of that grid be scrolled horizontally.
As a bonus I don't want any of the scrollbars visible, I will using it on Android using a WebView.
I'm fiddling with the overflow on several components, but I usually end up with:
- able to scroll the whole grid horizontally, instead of only the 'Data' div.
- have 2 seperate vertical scroll bars for both 'data' and 'header' divs.
My HTML:
<button id='scroll_up'>scroll up</button>
<button id='scroll_down'>scroll down</button>
<button id='scroll_left'>scroll left</button>
<button id='scroll_right'>scroll right</button>
<div id="grid">
<div id="header">
<a id='row_header'>Some Header</a>
<a class="row">1</a>
<a class="row">2</a>
<a class="row">3</a>
<a class="row">4</a>
<a class="row">5</a>
<a class="row">6</a>

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#scroll_up').click(function() {
var height = $('#grid').height();
$('#grid').scrollTo( '-=' + height + 'px', { axis:'y' } );
});
$('#scroll_down').click(function() {

$('#grid').scrollTo( '+=' + height + 'px', { axis:'y' } );

$('#scroll_left').click(function() {
var width = $('#data').width();
$('#data').scrollTo( '-=' + width + 'px', { axis:'x' } );
});
$('#scroll_right').click(function() {
var width = $('#data').width();
$('#data').scrollTo( '+=' + width + 'px', { axis:'x' } );
});
});

Any tips for what I should do?
I hope I've understood your question correctly, from what I understand I think you want something like the following:
http://jsfiddle.net/hGTw3/2/
I've hidden the scrollbars using an overflow trick, it could be considered somewhat of a hack but it uses pure HTML + CSS (no JavaScript needed) and is easily adjustable whilst working cross browser.
If you're curious, can read more about it here.
Unfortunately, I've had to include a couple of
div
's in there for the overflow trick, I don't see this as a major drawback though.For future reference, amended HTML:
And amended CSS (the JavaScript is unchanged):
You might want to double check the CSS as I haven't, it may be a little messy.
