Is there a way to make horizontal scrolling smoother

Question

This fiddle is almost what I\'m looking for, I got it from MDN. The only thing missing is that I want to make it smoother. Is there a way to do that without using jQuery or any

You can also use the .scrollTo method. I've modified the jsFidlle with this javascript :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollTo

var container = document.getElementById('container');
var input = document.getElementById('content');
var scrollAmount = 0;
var scrollMin = 0
var scrollMax = input.clientWidth

document.getElementById('slide').onclick = function () {
  container.scrollTo({
    top: 0,
    left: Math.max(scrollAmount += 500, scrollMax),
    behavior: 'smooth'
  });
};


document.getElementById('slideBack').onclick = function () {
  container.scrollTo({
    top: 0,
    left: Math.min(scrollAmount -= 500, scrollMin),
    behavior: 'smooth'
  });
};
