I have a horizontal scrollable section in my page and i want its content to automatically scroll. i tried using the code for automatic vertical scroll but its not working.
code based from here how to make a scrollbar automatically move after sometime (JavaScript)
$(document).ready(function () {
var scrollHandler = null;
function autoScroll() {
clearInterval(scrollHandler);
scrollHandler = setInterval(function () {
var nextScroll = $('.menu').scrollLeft() + 20;
$('.menu').scrollLeft(nextScroll);
}, 1500);
}
autoScroll();
});
what do i need to do to make it work? i am a beginner so please explain. thanks.
Here you can see adapted code from the answer your code is based on.
$(document).ready(function() {
var scrollHandler = null;
function autoScroll () {
console.log("autoScroll");
clearInterval(scrollHandler);
scrollHandler = setInterval(function() {
var nextScroll = $('.scrolled').scrollLeft() + 20;
$('.scrolled').scrollLeft(nextScroll);
},500);
}
autoScroll();
});.scrolled {
width: 50%;
height: auto;
overflow: scroll;
}
.inside {
width: 5000%;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="scrolled">
<div class="inside" >
