Scroll left if user scroll down ( horizontal scrolling )

Question

I'm working on a website that is horizontal and I need to make horizontal scrolling when user scroll down. Any ideas how to make that with javascript?

Here is fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/erqbtL23/

Here is code:

 body { margin: 0; height: 100vh; } * { box-sizing: border-box; } .container { overflow-x: auto; white-space: nowrap; } .container>div { background: red; display: inline-block; width: 100vw; height: 100vh; margin-left: -4px; } .container>div:first-child { margin-left: 0; } .container::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none; } .container>div:nth-child(even) { background: blue; } 

 <div class="container"> <div>scroll left</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> <div>lorem</div> </div> 

Answer 1

You can do it wit just css, by rotating the container so that the bottom becomes the right and then rotating each item so it is displayed correctly.

Example:

<div class="h-scroll">
  <div>item 1</div>
  <div>item 2</div>
  <div>item 3</div>
  <div>item 4</div>
  <div>item 5</div>
  <div>item 6</div>
  <div>item 7</div>
  <div>item 8</div>
</div>

.h-scroll {
  width: 100px;
  height: 300px;
  overflow-y: auto;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  transform-origin: right top;
  transform:rotate(-90deg) translateY(-100px);
}

.h-scroll > div {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  transform: rotate(90deg);
  transform-origin: right top;
}

Answer 2

You could add a scroll event listener that would block the original behaviour with event.preventDefault() and add your own left scroll logic:

window.document.addEventListener("scroll", ({preventDefault}) => {
    preventDefault();
    window.scrollTo(/* you need some logic to know where to scroll to */) 
});

I have the Same Requirement in my Project.

UPDATE 1: Working Link included in the end.

Hope this might help you: It'll work with mouse Scroll Bar. Scrolling Horizontally when user scroll Vertically.

HTML Code:

<div class="container element_size">
    <div>scroll left</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
    <div>lorem</div>
</div>

CSS Code:

$finalHeight: 250px;
$finalWidth: 3 * $finalHeight;
$scrollBarHeight: 1px;

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: $scrollBarHeight;
  height: $scrollBarHeight;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button {
  width: $scrollBarHeight;
  height: $scrollBarHeight;
}

body {
  background: #111;
}

div {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.container {
  position: absolute;
  display: block;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: calc(#{$finalHeight} + #{$scrollBarHeight});
  max-height: $finalWidth;
  margin: 0;
  padding-top: $scrollBarHeight;
  background: #abc;
  overflow-y: auto;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  transform: rotate(-90deg) translateY(-$finalHeight);
  transform-origin: right top;
  & > div {
    display: block;
    padding: 5px;
    background: #cab;
    transform: rotate(90deg);
    transform-origin: right top;
  }
}

.element_size {
  padding: $finalHeight 0 0 0;
  & > div {
    width: $finalHeight;
    height: $finalHeight;
    margin: 10px 0;
  }
}

Possible solution for you:

 $('.container').bind('DOMMouseScroll', function(e){ if(e.originalEvent.detail > 0) { //scroll down $('.container').animate({ scrollLeft: "+=500px" }, "slow"); console.log('Down'); }else { //scroll up console.log('Up'); } //prevent page fom scrolling return false; }); //IE, Opera, Safari $('.container').bind('mousewheel', function(e){ if(e.originalEvent.wheelDelta < 0) { //scroll down $('.container').animate({ scrollLeft: "+=500px" }, "slow"); console.log('Down'); }else { //scroll up console.log('Up'); } //prevent page fom scrolling return false; }); 

 .container { width:200px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid black; }
