http://healthunit.com has a clean horizontal scrolling menu at the top of the screen once you view it from a mobile phone device. I'm trying to mimic that same exact functionality thanks to a site I'm redesigning with a huge level of navigation elements.
Requirements:
My current html for this section is:
<nav id="sub" class="clearfix">
<ul class="wrapper">
<a href="#"><li>Estimate</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>About</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>Customer Information</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>Financing</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>Careers</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>Locate Us</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>Inspiration</li></a>
</ul>
</nav>
The CSS currently attached to it is:
nav#sub {
background: #004173;
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #004173 0%,#014f8d 100%);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #004173 0%, #014f8d 100%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #004173 0%,#014f8d 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #004173 0%,#014f8d 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#004173), color-stop(100%,#014f8d));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #004173 0%,#014f8d 100%);
border-bottom: #00325a solid 3px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 6px 0 #BFBFBF;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#004173', endColorstr='#014f8d',GradientType=0 );
webkit-box-shadow: 0 4px 6px 0 #BFBFBF;
}
#sub ul {
text-align: center;
}
#sub ul li {
padding: 10px 3.3%;
}
#sub a {
color: #fff;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: 400;
text-decoration: none;
}
#sub ul a:hover li {
background: #007FEB;
}
So, finally I think I have what you are looking for:
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fzXMg/2/
CSS and HTML is in the Fiddle...
JS:
$(function(){
var state = 0;
var maxState = 6;
var winWidth = $(window).width();
$(window).resize(function(){
winWidth = $(window).width();
$('.box,.container_element').width(winWidth-100);
}).trigger('resize');
$('#lefty').click(function(){
if (state==0) {
state = maxState;
} else {
state--;
}
$('.container_element').animate({scrollLeft:((winWidth-100)*state)+'px'}, 800);
});
$('#righty').click(function(){
if (state==maxState) {
state = 0;
} else {
state++;
}
$('.container_element').animate({scrollLeft:((winWidth-100)*state)+'px'}, 800);
});
});
This uses jQuery again.
