水平网站上的scrollTop或scrollLeft？

Question

I have a website I am working on (here is a basic example ), yesterday I got some help to implement active states on the radio-style button navigation, and I am now trying to link this up so that it also changes on page scroll/when in view as currently it's only onClick.

I roughly know how to achieve this as I've done something similar before, but then it occurred to me that because the page and scrollbar are rotated to accommodate the horizontal effect, I don't know if it would now be scrollTop or scrollLeft. I've never used scrollLeft before so I am unsure how to use it correctly. I am wondering if anyone has implemented something similar before and what the correct way would be? I've tried both and nothing seems to be working. This is what I'm roughly trying to achieve (but only one class active at a time).

I thought maybe using Waypoints could be another option, but again it's hard to find anything online which explains how this works when a site is rotated multiple times.

My JS knowledge is shaky (still learning!), I'm only trying to implement what I think would work so this is probably not even correct, any help understanding what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated!

Heres the latest thing I've tried.

 // --- change span classes on click const setIconState = (icon, state) => icon.className = state ? icon.className.replace('button-off', 'button-on') : icon.className.replace('button-on', 'button-off') const toggleIcon = element => { const className = element.className; element.className = className.indexOf('button-on') > -1 ? setIconState(element, false) : setIconState(element, true); } const setIconActiveState = (icon, state) => icon.className = state ? icon.className = `${icon.className} active` : icon.className = icon.className.replace('active', '') document.querySelectorAll('.bottomnav span.icon') .forEach(icon => { icon.onclick = (e) => { const { target: clickedSpan } = e; const siblings = [...clickedSpan.parentElement.parentElement.querySelectorAll('span.icon')] .filter(sibling => sibling != clickedSpan); siblings.forEach(icon => { setIconState(icon, false); setIconActiveState(icon, false); }); setIconState(clickedSpan, true); setIconActiveState(clickedSpan, true); }; }); // --- change span classes on scroll test function onScroll(event){ var scrollPos = $(document).scrollTop(); $('.bottomnav a').each(function () { var currLink = $(this); var refElement = $(currLink.attr("href")); if (refElement.position().top <= scrollPos && refElement.position().top + refElement.height() > scrollPos) { $('.bottomnav a span').removeClass("active"); currLink.addClass("active"); } else{ currLink.removeClass("active"); } }); }

Answer 1

For horizontal scrolling I would go the following route, simplifying your HTML and whaty you listen for. Since touch devices can easily just swipe to scroll, all you need to do is make it accessible for people with scroll wheels. You could also add an animation, but it makes this snippet too long.

 const main = document.querySelector( 'main' ); const nav = document.querySelector( 'nav' ); let scrollend; function onwheel(){ /* When using the scrollwheel, translate Y direction scrolls to X direction. This way scrollwheel users get the benefit of scrolling down to go right, while touch and other users get default behaviour. */ event.preventDefault(); event.stopImmediatePropagation(); main.scrollLeft += event.wheelDeltaY; } function onscroll(){ /* When scrolling, find the nearest element to the center of the screen. Then find the link in the nav that links to it and activate it while deactivating all others. */ const current = Array.from( main.children ).find(child => { return child.offsetLeft >= main.scrollLeft - innerWidth / 2; }); const link = Array.from( nav.children ).reduce((find, child) => { child.classList.remove( 'selected' ); return find || (child.href.indexOf( current.id ) >= 0 ? child : find); }, false); if( link ) link.classList.add( 'selected' ); clearTimeout( scrollend ); scrollend = setTimeout( onscrollend, 100 ); } function onscrollend(){ /* After scrolling ends, snap the appropriate element. This could be done with an animation. */ clearTimeout( scrollend ); const current = Array.from( main.children ).find(child => { return child.offsetLeft >= main.scrollLeft - innerWidth / 2; }); main.scrollLeft = current.offsetLeft; } /* Bind and initial call */ main.addEventListener( 'wheel', onwheel ); main.addEventListener( 'scroll', onscroll ); onscroll(); 

 html, body, main { height: 100%; } body { padding: 0; margin: 0; } main { display: flex; overflow: auto; width: 100%; height: 100%; scroll-snap-type: x proximity; } main section { width: 100%; height: 100%; flex: 0 0 100%; } nav { position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } nav a { width: 1em; height: 1em; margin: 1em; display: block; overflow: hidden; color: transparent; border: 1px solid black; border-radius: 50%; } nav a.selected { background: black; } .bland { background: gray; } .dark { background: darkgray; color: white; } .bright { background: yellow; } 

 <nav> <a href="#section-1">Section 1</a> <a href="#section-2">Section 2</a> <a href="#section-3">Section 3</a> </nav> <main> <section class="bright" id="section-1"> <h2>Section 1</h2> </section> <section class="dark" id="section-2"> <h2>Section 2</h2> </section> <section class="bland" id="section-3"> <h2>Section 3</h2> </section> </main> 

Answer 2

As mentioned, I would also prefer a design that does not flip the X and Y axis. Doing so might bite us in the future, when we try to include non-trivial content on our pages. Also if we don't do that axis flip, we have no need at all to do positional calculations.

So both the HTML structure and the CSS will be simpler.

AFAIK, it's not possible to do the scrolling purely in non-hacky CSS.

 /** * Change icon state on click. */ const icons = Array.from( document.querySelectorAll( '.icon' )); const toggleIcon = icon => { icon.classList.toggle( 'ion-ios-radio-button-on' ); icon.classList.toggle( 'ion-ios-radio-button-off' ); }; const clickIcon = event => { // toggle previous active state toggleIcon( document.querySelector( 'i.ion-ios-radio-button-on' )); // toggle own state toggleIcon( event.target ); }; icons.forEach( icon => icon.addEventListener( 'click', clickIcon )); /** * Scroll horizontally on scroll wheel. * The combination of "scroll-behavior: smooth;" and the "<a href=#>" anchor links, * can be reused to do and endless snapping cycle on wheel event. */ let scroll_state = 0; window.addEventListener( 'wheel', event => { window.requestAnimationFrame(() => { // cast to -1 or +1 const offset = event.deltaY / Math.abs( event.deltaY ); scroll_state += offset; // Arrays are zero-based. // So if the length matches our state, restart over from the first page. if ( scroll_state === icons.length ) scroll_state = 0; else if ( scroll_state < 0 ) scroll_state = icons.length - 1; // scrolll_state will now always contain the next icon to click. icons[ scroll_state ].click(); }); }); 

 * { box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; } html { scroll-behavior: smooth; } body { overflow-x: scroll; width: 100%; } main { display: block; height: 90vh; width: 300vw; } nav { background-color: orange; display: block; height: 10vh; position: fixed; width: 100%; } a { text-decoration: none; } .page { display: inline-block; float: left; height: 100%; padding: 50px; width: 100vw; } 

 <link href="https://unpkg.com/ionicons@4.5.5/dist/css/ionicons.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <body> <main> <section class="page" id="myapp_first"> <h1>First</h1> <p>Lorem Ipsum</p> </section> <section class="page" id="myapp_second"> <h1>Second</h1> <p>Lorem Ipsum</p> </section> <section class="page" id="myapp_third"> <h1>Third</h1> <p>Lorem Ipsum</p> </section> </main> <nav id="myapp_navigation"> <a href="#myapp_first"> <i class="icon ion-ios-radio-button-on active"></i> </a> <a href="#myapp_second"> <i class="icon ion-ios-radio-button-off"></i> </a> <a href="#myapp_third"> <i class="icon ion-ios-radio-button-off"></i> </a> </nav> </body> 

By leveraging the click event of the icons, we get the icons changing class and the transition for free. Adding more pages now just becomes adding the correct HTML and updating the width of the <main> element.

A last thing I would personally add, is a debounce function around the wheel event, so we don't try to scroll faster than we can render.

Without debouncing, we might want to merge the functions so we can include the class changing inside the animationFrame for hopefully less yanky visuals, but that would complicate the click events again, so i'd prefer debouncing the wheel handler.

 /** * Change icon state on click. */ const icons = Array.from( document.querySelectorAll( '.icon' )); const toggleIcon = icon => { icon.classList.toggle( 'ion-ios-radio-button-on' ); icon.classList.toggle( 'ion-ios-radio-button-off' ); icon.classList.toggle( 'active' ); }; const clickIcon = event => { // toggle previous active state toggleIcon( document.querySelector( '.ion-ios-radio-button-on' ));// toggle own state toggleIcon( event.target ); }; icons.forEach( icon => icon.addEventListener( 'click', clickIcon )); /** * Scroll horizontally on scroll wheel. * The combination of "scroll-behavior: smooth;" and the "<a href=#>" anchor links, * can be reused to do and endless snapping cycle on wheel event. */ let scroll_state = 0; window.addEventListener( 'wheel', event => { // ANimation frame to smooth out the transition. window.requestAnimationFrame(() => { // cast to -1 or +1 const offset = event.deltaY / Math.abs( event.deltaY ); scroll_state += offset; // Arrays are zero-based. // So if the length matches our state, restart over from the first page. if ( scroll_state === icons.length ) scroll_state = 0; else if ( scroll_state < 0 ) scroll_state = icons.length - 1; // scrolll_state will now always contain the next icon to click. icons[ scroll_state ].click(); }); });
