Is it possible to use window scrollers to scroll a big DIV content? instead of its own div scroller?
Since the scrollbar only affects the overall page, and not a specific element, no.. at least not without replacing the scrollbar entirely (strongly discouraged).
Something like
It appears to be very simple to use de standard browser scrollbar as a seperate
scrollbar for any purpose.
You just need 3 <div>
with some CSS-parameters:
container-div
:scrollbox-div
a little bit to the left (otherwise the content-div
stays visible).scrollbox-div
:scrollbox-div
gets the scrollbar, because it contains the contents-div
, which
is larger then the scrollbox-div
. The scrollbox-div
is relative-repositioned to
the left (-24px), so the contents-div
is not visible in the container-div
.
The contents-div
can not be made much smaller then about 33 px
, otherwise the scrollbar disappears in IE.contents-div
:contents-div
is larger then the srollbox-div
to force a scrollbar.
It contains NOTHING, so it will be invisibleBy changing the container+scrollbox-height
and the content-height
you can
change the scrollbar handle size.
Just experiment by changing the parameters.
With some jquery you can get/set the scrolltop-value
. So with this parameter and some
jquery you can select any part of data you want to display.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="container" >
<div id="scrollbox" >
<div id="content" >
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>scrolltop= <span id="scrolltop" ></span></p>
</body>
CSS:
#container{
width: 16px;
height: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#scrollbox{
width: 40px;
height: 500px;
position:relative;
left: -24px;
overflow: auto;
}
#content{
height: 50000px;
}
JQUERY:
$('document').ready(function(){
$("#scrollbox").scroll(
function () {
var scrolltop=$('#scrollbox').scrollTop();
$('#scrolltop').text(scrolltop);
}
);
});
