How can I convert horizontal touch scroll action to vertical? - javascript

There are some topics discussing this but none of them could fit my needs.
I have created a page for horizontal scrolling. It works fine. When the user scrolls down, the content scrolls horizontal. Just two elements, one is turned to the side, the other one turns back the content. fine.
But now the problem is, if the user is clever and thinks "oh its horizontal content, so i have to scroll horizontally" (on notebook pad). It doesnt work, it does nothing. The user doesn't know that its a div turned sideways.
So, Is there a Javascript possibility to tell my div "If users (try to) scroll horizontal, just scroll vertical."
Thanks

How to change css styles on scroll without delay

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a side navigation menu for my churches website. You can see the demo here:
http://amightywind.com/sideNav/
However I have a problem. The navigation is supposed to work so when you scroll down the page past it's bottom the css changes to make it anchor and stop moving.
The problem is that the "anchoring" effect doesn't always work smoothly and will only be applied after you scrolled a few pixels past the bottom.
This causes the side bar to "jump" back into it's designed place.
I know this problem is probably caused by asynchronous panning (the browser delays repainting when scrolling to keep a smooth frame rate).
I was going to call this unsolvable, but then I saw firefox's quantum browser page.
If you scroll down halfway, you will see a large pink box on the left that says "Firefox Quantum features".
The text changes positioning when you scroll into it similarly to how my side bar works. However 2 things are different.
1 there is no jump. It is perfectly smooth in every browser I tested.
I figured this could easily be because they are moving a smaller portion of content than I am, but....
2 when I inspect element I notice there is no css class/style change on the object when scrolled into it.
How is this possible? Is there a way to make this effect work without Javascript? Or at least more smoothly than I've done just listening to the window scroll event?
Any help would be much appreciated thank you!

overflow-x: scroll and overflow-y:visible nightmare with x-scrolling and dropdown menu

Before i start, I wanted to let you know that I have been searching high and low for a solution to my issue but the closest thread I've found is unfortunately without the answer to the actual problem - Position absolute inside div with overflow-x scroll and overflow-y visible
Essentially I got main page where I am dynamically loading some other pages and on some of them I used dropdown listboxes. It happened that I haven't noticed it earlier as content any of the pages wasn't wide enough for me to spot the problem.
The problem I face is absolutely positioned div (which contain dropdown) and visible horizontal scroll bar on the parent of this div. When I scroll my page horizontally the dropdown div stays in the same place on the screen. I read about "popping out" absolute divs under this link:https://css-tricks.com/popping-hidden-overflow/ but even there, I can observe similar issue I am currently facing, which is appearing of the vertical scroll on the parent element. I am trying to achieve similar effect like here:
http://jsfiddle.net/matcygan/4rbvewn8/7/ but stop vertical scroll bar to appear when the listbox is expanded - instead it should overflow the box and party cover horizontal scroll bar. Here I've found another prompt example how can I achieve it http://jsfiddle.net/b5fYH/ but when i try to play with it and make red boxes scrollable with content as well as overflowing outside of the content vertically, without creating vertical scrollbar, I am failing... I am also fine with using JS if CSS on it's own can't deliver such effect.
In the end after 3 days battle, the CSS won and I need to ask for a help...
Any support will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sliding an element "up" over another as the user scrolls down, without fixed positioning?

The wording in the title is weird, apologies. It's hard to explain the effect.
I currently have this, it works best on Chrome:
http://mattluckhurst.com/dev/
My client wants each panel to slide up as the user scrolls down, covering the previous panel. I am currently accomplishing this by setting the "current" panel to have position:fixed and top:0 as soon as the page scrolls to it. The panels each have a z-index that corresponds to their vertical position on the page. So ideally:
You scroll down. when the next panel is halfway up the window, the scroll animates to get you all the way there, then that panel is snapped to the top so the next one can come in over it.
It's working pretty well in Chrome, but I am getting a lot of flickering and stuff elsewhere. Also on mobile it's a mess, but we really want a nice smooth swipe up down.
I know fixed elements can get pretty funky on mobile, so I am wondering if that is the problem, or if I should be using something other than just window scrolling for the animation / effect.
I see more complex parallax stuff all the time, so this should be pretty doable, I'm just not sure where to start.
Thanks for any help! Let me know if you need more info.

Javascript scrolling menu that starts only after a certain ways down the page

I want a scrolling menu that begins at a certain part of the page (like under the header), but stays there till you scroll down and it hits the top of your browser window, then follows you down the rest of the page.
Anyone have any clue how to do this? I can't find it anywhere on the net. I've seen others similar to it, but none that move to the top of the window.
There's a great example on gmail when you are viewing an email. The toolbar stays at the top of the email box, but once you scroll past the email box, it follows you down the page.
I know that position:absolute;top:0; will make it stay at the top without the fluid motion (I hate it because it looks sloppy).
** edit **
I really only need to know how to detect that the menu div is at the top of your page. I can do a mock thing where if you scroll down how ever far the menu div is, it will start scrolling down, but I'd rather actually get whether the menu div is past the browser window or not.
It's a mixed position of fixed and absolute, you will handle.scroll event and switch between that.
You can find an example here
Creating a floating box which stays within a div

Create continous or neverending scrolling effect in webpage?

Here is what I am thinking:
I have long web page and when the user reaches the end, I don't want the scrolling to stop just then, but I want to reload the page again from the bottom and continue the scrolling.
Detailed
As the user scrolls to the bottom, I want the top of the website to be removed from the top and placed at the bottom in a smooth way and this effect has be vice versa also. I mean if user scrolls up at the top of the page, then the footer must load at the top and continue in this fashion.
Yes, Infinite Scroll can do this. There is also a jQuery plugin.
Now whether you should do this... that's an entirely different question. Personally I find this behaviour extremely annoying.
