I'm trying to put elements in a horizontal row so I can scroll through them, for this I have made an inner and an outer container. The outer container has a fixed width and the inner container should have a width that is determined by it's content which can be larger than the outer div.
HTML
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">
<ul>
<li class="item"></li>
<li class="item"></li>
<li class="item"></li>
<li class="item"></li>
<li class="item"></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#outer{
width:250px;
position: relative; /* required to make overflow hidden work */
overflow:hidden; /* commented to demonstrate the issue */
background-color: lightgreen;
height: 80px;
}
#inner {
position: absolute;
width: 1000px; /* <- needs to scale to content */
}
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.item:first-child{
margin-left:0;
}
.item {
width: 100px;
height: 80px;
background-color: lightblue;
margin-left: 10px;
display:inline-block;
}
I'm trying to solve this issue using CSS alone but I've been unsuccesful so far. For this issue, browser compatibility is a non-issue.
What I have
What I want
i dont't know if i get your question right, but have you tried it with
overflow-x: scroll;
overflow-y: hidden;
Just make some few modifications
#inner{width: 750px;}
#outer{width: 250px;overflow-x: auto;}
You HTML is invalid as divs cannot be children of a ul
.
In fact, I'm not sure you need the ul
at all as you can achieve what you are after without it.
I have widened the outer div in the Fiddle so you can see what is going on
#outer { width: 250px; position: relative; overflow: hidden; background-color: lightgreen; height: 80px; margin: auto; text-align: center; } #inner { white-space: nowrap; display: inline-block; background: red; } .item:first-child { margin-left: 0; } .item { width: 100px; height: 80px; background-color: lightblue; margin-left: 10px; display: inline-block; }
<div id="outer"> <div id="inner"> <div class="item"></div> <div class="item"></div> <div class="item"></div> <div class="item"></div> <div class="item"></div> </div> </div>
