I believe you could do this with scrollLeft
$("#leftArrow").click(function(){
$("#divId").scrollLeft(Math.max(0, $("#divId").scrollLeft() - 100));
});
$("#rightArrow").click(function(){
$("#divId").scrollLeft(Math.min(1000, $("#divId").scrollLeft() + 100));
});
With appropriate limits instead of 0
and 1000
, and your image width instead of 100
.
However, looking at your example page, you have another problem.
You think that your images are being placed like this:
[Visible area] [ Overflow .... ]
.=========================._ ___ ___ ___ ___
X | | | | | | X | | | | . . . | |
X___|___|___|___|___|___|_X_|___|___|___| |___|
"========================="
and that scrolling the visible area horizontally will make the other images become visible.
In fact, the images are being placed like this:
[Visible area]
.=========================.
X | | | | | | X
X___|___|___|___|___|___| X
"========================="
|___|___|___|___|___|___|
| | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___| [ Overflow ... ]
...
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
| | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|
... so the horizontal scroll does no good. (The images are actually overflowing vertically! In fact, you can see this if you use the same code but with scrollTop
instead of the scrollLeft
)
The images are wrapping because they are inside a div that has an explicit width.
You can solve this by placing a second div inside your first div (the one with the overflow:none
) that is wide enough to accommodate all of your images.
As your page is, executing
javascript:
$("#images")
.css("overflow", "hidden")
.wrapInner("<div style= width:1000px >");
will do the trick. Then if you execute
javascript:
$("#images").scrollLeft(10);
you will see that the horizontal scroll actually works.
