Scroll bar manipulation - html

is any chance to have a scroll bar element that I can move where I want on the page but to link with my scroll box? I have created my scroll box ready but I need a scroll bar that should to be moved on other place on page.

Try jQuery Scrollbar - look at Advanced Scrollbars Demo page - External scrollbar.
If you want to use native browser scrollbar (or do not like custom scrollbars), you will have to use two containers - one with your scrollable content and the second one - with scrollbar that attached to first container. Look at question Attach Horizontal Scrollbar to bottom of window if scrollable div is taller than window

HTML5 dragging element left does not show horizontal scrollbar

I have a div that holds multiple draggable elements.
When I drag an elements to the right, the horizontal scroll bar appears and I can scroll the div. This is what it looks like:
However, when I drag the elements left, the horizontal scroll bar doesn't show. Example:
I have the overflow property set to auto.
I understand that this is the deafult behavior of the browser, and that not showing the scroll bar is "correct", however if anyone has any suggestions how to make the overflow also work when moving elements left, it would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
No. When you drag an element to the right you are increasing the page width and triggering a horizontal scrollbar. When you drag an element to the left, you are simply moving it off the page.
You might try dynamically increasing the page width based on how far the element has been dragged outside the left edge of the page.
The browser is working as designed.

How to make a page scroll under a fixed container?

the question is a bit more complex than the title can describe. I'm trying to make something like this:
There's a one page layout with content sections. Each section is 100vh, some of them are taller. When user scrolls down or swipes an animation occurrs sliding to a next section. When in a taller section user scrolls freely unless at the bounds of the section, then an animation occurrs.
I've come up with an idea that the browser's scrollbar should be something of a controller, that means it should indicate a position value that would be translated by JS to proper animation. I've created a fixed positioned container with the sections over page's body with its height set to the total sections height so the scrollbar indicates proper values.
The problem is I think I don't want the scrollbar to be visible, because it makes a little paradox when dragging it. Also there will be some content sliding in from the side with its own scrollbar. I think I can hide the scrollbar by doing some tricks if the scrollbar is in a div, not window, but it looks like when a fixed container is in a container with a scrollbar the scroll doesn't happen when the mouse is over the fixed container.
So now I'm stuck between having a window scrollbar and not being actually able to scroll over fixed container. I'd appreciate any help so much. Cheers!
some html just for codepen links to work:
<div class="fixed">
<div class="section-container">
<div class="section"><h1>section 1</h1></div>
<div class="section"><h1>section 2</h1></div>
<div class="section"><h1>section 3</h1></div>
</div>
</div>
codepen example with body scroll
codepen example with container scroll
You added scroll before fixed so it doesn't matter if you have scroll or not it is fixed so you cant scroll over fixed area only under.

How to make possible vertical scroll on popup and disable vertical scroll for page by using CSS?

I'm developing responsive web site for small devices. I need to show popup (pure div) and make possible vertical scroll due large content. But instead scrolling my popup main page scrolled.
My question is how could I disable main page scroll and scroll only popup?
You can set height of your .popup and then set overflow to auto
.popup{
height:50px;
overflow:auto;
}
Now, if your popup has a large contents that doesn't fit in 50 pixels by height and you'll scroll on it, contents in popup will be scrolled instead of whole document contents.

Make div on ipad with overflow:touch to scroll in a same way as native containers

On ipad there is a css declaration -webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch which provides fast bouncing scroll to any div with cliped content. But it has some differences against native ios scroll:
If it was never scrolled before (eg scrollTop property of parent div is 0) and one is trying to scroll it up, it doesn't bounce but scrolls a whole page up. Same situation for content scrolled to a very bottom and scrolling down.
If content insede scrollable container is smaller then container itself it doesn't bounce too but propogate scrolling to other elements up to the page instead.
Is there any way to make it behave exactly like the native ios scrolling, so touching the container will always scroll it but never the page.

vertical scroll bar on overlay

I have an overlay that I created with a width of 700px and height of 500px.
The contents of it will be quite long though and so the user will have to be able to scroll up/down within the overlay.
Could I get a suggestion on how to set this up taking into consideration the fact that scroll bars vary in width in each browser?
For example if I add 15px of padding-right to the overlay wrapper, it displays great in Firefox.
The contents will fit perfectly within the div and a horizontal bar will not appear.
However in another browser, the vertical scroll bar may be 20px wide, this would cause the contents to be forced to scroll horizontally, or, if I disable overflow-x, they would be cut off by 5px on the right.
How can I get it so that, no matter the browser, when the vertical scroll bar appears, the width of the overlay wrapper adjusts so that its contents can be displayed perfectly with no horizontal scroll bar?
Overflow property sounds like what you need: overflow:scroll;? But I guess I'm not sure what your concern of the different width of scrollbars is. How is it setup that this is variable?
Or a different look at your problem, put the div with your overlay wrapper inside another div and have the new div have the scroll property, thus making it so the first directly has nothing to do with scroll bars. Ex: [link]
EDIT: Looking at example you provided, do you want something like this? Trick is like I said above putting div around everything, but instead not giving it a width and having it display:inline-block; (display) so it fits the child (but the scroll wheel stays outside of the child).
EDIT 2: Note if you need it to center on screen, you must have another parent div surrounding the inline-block, and have the inline-block text-align:center;. (example)
use max-width and jquery scrollbar plugin jscrollpane.
You can define the scrollbar width and styles for each browser, if the need it.
