You can scroll left and right when clicking on your arrows by editing the scrollLeft
DOM property of the scrolling element.
Using jQuery, you can use the .scrollLeft()
function to get or set the scrollLeft
property - link to docs

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function scrollDiv(dir, px) {
var scroller = document.getElementById('scroller');
if (dir == 'l') {
scroller.scrollLeft -= px;
}
else if (dir == 'r') {
scroller.scrollLeft += px;
}
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#scroller {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
border: 1px solid blue;
overflow: scroll;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#inner-scroller {
width: 800px;
height: 800px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body style="text-align: center;">
<a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="scrollDiv('l', 20); return false;">scroll left</a>

<a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="scrollDiv('r', 20); return false;"> scroll right</a>
<div id="scroller">
<div id="inner-scroller">
