Today's tutorial is going to show how to create a horizontally scrolling div using jQuery, html, and css. The main part of this tutorial is going to focus on the jQuery which is used to build the slider which controls the scrolling. One of the first questions that is going to pop into your head is, "why?". Well the main reason to do this is to be able to build a custom scroll bar/slider. You can also introduce extra functionality using the jQuery slider.
To get this started go ahead and check out the little demo below. There isn't anything real hard to figure out with the demo. One nicety to check out is the ability to click on the scroll bar anywhere and the div will do an animated scroll to that position. Just as a note, I have noticed a small bug with the jQuery slider where it doesn't always get the end position correct when you click on the scroll bar. Well, take a second and bask in the glory of the scrolling area below.
