(Edit: the JS in the original post was included by a mistake - it's now deleted)
I have a horizontal scroll working perfectly fine.
The problem is that my slides are vertical scrollable (and this is all good bc there's a lot of content) which means when I scroll down to the bottom of slide 1 and then scrolls horizontally to slide 2 the viewport does snap to the left of slide 2 but the viewport stays at the bottom of the slide. I want the viewport to snap to the TOP of slide 2 as well.
I haven't been able to find a solution to this, and there only seem to be start, end and center as working values for scroll-snap-align which doesn't solve my problem.
Does anyone know a way around this?
See the codesnippet below.
#slidesContainer {
height: auto;
width: auto;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
position: relative;
overflow: scroll;
scroll-snap-type: x mandatory;
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}
#slides {
color: black;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
font-size: 100px;
position: static;
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 0;
scroll-snap-align: start;
scroll-snap-stop: always;
}<div id="slidesContainer">
<div id="slides" style="background-color:blue;">Slide 1<br><br> Scroll down until there is no more text, then scroll right text text text text text text text text text text text text text </div>
<div id="slides" style="background-color:green;">Slide 2<br><br>This text is not visible unless you scroll back up - this is the problem.</div>
<div id="slides" style="background-color:yellow;">Slide 3<br><br></div>
</div>Thanks a lot in advance.
If I am understanding you correctly, this should work just fine. Essentially I added a custom scroll bar via CSS under the note /* manual scrollbar */. You can style it as you desire, but I just made it basic. Then you can get the horizontal scrollbar to the top of your elements using transform: rotateX(180deg); The notes I added with the additions in your CSS should help.
#slidesContainer {
height: 100vh;
width: auto;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
position: relative;
overflow: scroll;
/* important for manual scrollbar to show */
}
#slides {
color: black;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
font-size: 100px;
position: static;
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
/* manual scrollbar */
#slidesContainer::-webkit-scrollbar {
-webkit-appearance: none;
width: 0px;
}
#slidesContainer::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
box-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, .5);
}
/* Puts scrollbar at top */
div#slidesContainer {
transform: rotateX(180deg);
}
div#slidesContainer * {
transform: rotateX(180deg);
}
/* for good measures */
body {
margin: 0;
}<div id="slidesContainer">
<div id="slides" style="background-color:blue;">Slide 1<br><br> text text text text text text text text text text text text text </div>
<div id="slides" style="background-color:green;">Slide 2<br><br></div>
<div id="slides" style="background-color:yellow;">Slide 3<br><br></div>
</div>
