I have a div with fixed width and height, overflow: scroll and position: relative. Inside I have two table elements, first one containing 10 columns, and the second one which is a copy of the first table and has its first 3 columns only. I gave position:absolute to the second table and given that both tables have save styling the second table will overlap the first one. My requirement is when the div is scrolled horizontally, I want the second table which is overlapping the first one to be fixed, i.e, it should not move on horizontal scroll, and on vertical scroll the content of second table should be scrolled properly.
I have created the following fiddle with what I have so far:
JS Fiddle
I don't think that's possible with css. What you are asking is for the left hand table to scroll vertically with it's container div, but not to scroll horizontally.
I'd have a re-think on your requirements here.
You could just put the right hand table inside a div with overflow:scroll, so only that one moves when you scroll horizontally. You'd have the issue then of the two no longer being lined up when you scroll vertically - could you make it high enough so so the whole table displays? Would that work for you?
EDIT:
In your js-fiddle then you've set height:500px; for .container.
If you don't need that, then remove it so things will set their own height and display the whole table. Then you only have the sideways scroll to deal with, and that's doable (e.g. put a wrapper on the right hand table only that has overflow:scroll)
No I'd not use position:fixed here, that sets something relative to the browser window, which is no good for users scrolling up and down.
have a look at this: http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast/html-training/css/positioning/
that's great to get your head around css positioning.

I created this scroll effect, where div is divided into left and right side - left side contains of images, that change based on scroll position and it's fixed and right side is scrolling content.
This is my idea:
https://codesandbox.io/s/scroll-effect-forked-ssi3x?file=/src/index.css
To describe the sandbox - you can see that my scroll effect works, but right div scrolls only when mouse is on that right div, what I need is that content of that right div will scroll down also when mouse is on left div
I tried to make the whole container's position fixed so it doesn't move, but it did not work. Is there a way how to achieve it?
Here is example of what I would like it to be like:
(starts with STEP 1)
https://honextmaterial.com/process/
To achieve your goal in React, you need a combination of some CSS and the JS scroll event. First, assign position: sticky to the element you need to be fixed when it's about to leave the viewport. Then, using a React ref, you access the scroll position of the scrollable div and use that logic to set your image source (you should avoid accessing the DOM directly with getElementById in React).
Here's a working codesandbox example
You could do this basically with only CSS. You could make the right (scrollable) side overlap the left side with position: absolute. Then the whole area is scrollable. After that you'd change the width of the inner element to 60% and you'd visually have the same output as before. I changed your codesandbox accordingly: https://codesandbox.io/s/scroll-effect-forked-55qsf
The only downside is, that the left side is not clickable, scrollable etc. anymore. If you want to keep HTML & CSS like before, you'd have to capture the scroll-event and run some JavaScript code.
I have a div that is taller than the window but is contained within a certain width. This causes the div to get a horizontal scrollbar at the very bottom. The problem with this is it makes it hard for users to scroll left and right within the div.
I would like to know if it is possible to attach a scrollbar to the bottom of the screen until the user scrolls down to the bottom of the div.
To give you an idea of what I would like to accomplish. Codrops created a nice table that once you scroll past the table header it attaches its self to the top of the screen. Here is the demo of that http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/StickyTableHeaders/. I want to do this but with a scrollbar attaching to the bottom of the screen. I am sorry I can't provide things I have tried, because I don't even know where to start when trying to accomplish this.
You can create empty container with the same width as your div and set it to fixed position. Then sync scrolling position of these 2 DIVs using jQuery. Example on jsFiddle.
jQuery(function($){
$('.content').on('scroll', function(){
$('.scroller').scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());
});
$('.scroller').on('scroll', function(){
$('.content').scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());
});
});
Hiding/showing external scrollbar depending on page scroll offset is left for you as homework :)
I've a tricky problem. So I have two fixed element with space in between under those two elements I have a relative positioned element, everything is ok so far. Now when I scroll the relative positioned element will scroll and appear in between the two fixed elements and on top of the first one, here is the jsfiddle to make it clearer. I'd like the relative positioned content not to appear when scroll, like if it was a box scrolling with an overflow hidden.
The goal is to do a kind of box scrolling but with a window scrolling.
I'd like a css solution but I'm also opened to any js solution.
What about this?
http://jsbin.com/uSEfUMA/2/edit
fixed has a background
you can also add padding to body if you don't want to set a background to fixed
Could make a zindexed div with a background set to the same color as the page bg, put that over the relative positioned div and under the absolutes so when the relative div scrolls to that point of the page it appears to dissapear how I believe you want it to, or just use overflow hidden and absolute positioning to lock it into place and clip the content.
I have a frustrating problem with the following scenario:
Right col, with table. Always 100% of available browser width.
Smaller Left col (sidebar) with width set to just 140px. Left col has slide-in / slide-out animation, i.e. it can be minimised if not required to maximise available horizontal space for the table in the right col. Right col alters its width correspondingly to use all the space.
The page header and the table heading row are fixed at the top of the page using a jquery plugin. I could have used position:fixed but then when the table forces the page to scroll horizontally it all breaks as you cant scroll horizontally with position:fixed. Hence the jquery plugin.
The problem is, the jQuery plugin remembers the original widths on the elements, so when the sidebar is shrunk and the page is scrolled, the fixed elements (header rows and sidebar) return to their original size rather than staying shrunk.
I made a basic example of the problem, with all the elements explained above, on jfiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/cr0wn3r/ktbdx/18/
Instead of using jquery plugin which doesn't include refreshing option you can do the trick by yourself.
HERE there is short and great tutorial how to obtain the position effect you want to have.
I have 2 columns of content, the left content has some fixed content at the top with some text at the bottom, the right column is a big long list of text & small images. Currently when I vertically scroll the browser the content below the fixed content on the left scrolls with the content on the right.
What I want is, if the content on the left fits within the browse window, not to scroll, if it does have enough content, scroll with the right column, but stop before all the content hides behind the fixed content, but without stopping the right column from scrolling.
Not sure if this is even possible, can't recall having seen it done before.
Thanks,
Chuck
something like this?: http://jsfiddle.net/S3xda/
things to be careful of:
only tested in the latest FF and chrome
not tested with contents of different length
in that example, i'm using a fixed height wrapper, as i needed to attach the scroll() event to it but you could use window on your own page.
ZenMaster has the right idea. The other part of this I would do "overflow-y: auto" on the fixed div, this will make it have its own scroll bar if the content you have in it is higher than the browser window.
What else you can do is just absolutely position the stuff at the top, to top, left and then position the stuff at the bottom for bottom, left - And dont do anything more than a total of 500px high in that box and the content should never need to be scrolled, the bottom stuff will always be at the bottom of the window and likewise the top stuff will always be at the top, while your user can scroll the big section up and down with the other side staying constant and static on screen...
Well zenmaster removed his answer for some reason, I thought it was pretty good.
anyhow, you want the one column to either be position: fixed or you could do it with absolute positioning. Set the height to 100% (body must also be 100% and any other containers, you need the 100% height to bubble all the way to the "window" and not some container in between. Also if you do position absolute, remember that the container of the absolute element needs to be relative if you are giving positioning coordinates to the absolute element.
I would prefer a plugin like THIS in that way you get a scroll bar for each and not scrolling on both. GL & HF
And btw this works in all browsers ie7-9 ff,chrome,safari,opera and so on (even works on mobiles)
I had a same problem as you and finally I have found this jQuery plugin http://dhlavaty.github.io/jQuery-SmartColumnScroller/ . It has nice demo which shows exactly the solution. It moves all columns on scroll. However when a column content ends the column stops while other still go. TADA!
