I'm trying to do image "carousel" with horizontal scroll. Pure HTML + CSS without JS.
This is my HTML:
<div class="slideshow">
<figure class="slideshow__fig">
<img src="img/hilti-png.png" alt="" class="slideshow__fig-img">
<figcaption>Fig.1 - Trulli, Puglia, Italy.</figcaption>
</figure>
<figure class="slideshow__fig">
<img src="img/hilti-png.png" alt="" class="slideshow__fig-img">
<figcaption>Fig.1 - Trulli, Puglia, Italy.</figcaption>
</figure>
<figure class="slideshow__fig">
<img src="img/hilti-png.png" alt="p" class="slideshow__fig-img">
<figcaption>Fig.1 - Trulli, Puglia, Italy.</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
This is my css:
.slideshow {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
overflow-y: hidden;
overflow-x: scroll;
//width: 80vw;
//margin: auto;
&::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 350px;
height: 10px;
}
/* Track */
&::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background: #f1f1f1;
}
/* Handle */
&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background: #888;
border-radius: 500px;
}
/* Handle on hover */
&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
background: #555;
}
&__fig {
flex: 0 0 auto;
height: 900px;
&-img{
height: 100%;
//width: 100%;
display: block;
}
}
}
1 - The problem is when I set the width of the .slideshow to 80vw, then naturally the scrollbar is shorter, but my images are cropped and not going full display width. When I try to adjust the width of the scrollbar with ::-webkit-scrollbar {width: 350px or 50vw or ...} exactly nothing happens.
I would like to have a scrollbar which is not full width of the div which I'm scrolling, but somehow can't figure it out.
2 - The other problem is I would like to have a figcaption at the bottom left side of the image. But somehow it doesn't show when the horizontal scroll is there. Any suggestions?
Here is the example how I would like to have it:
edit: Now I finally managed to do it by adding:
&::-webkit-scrollbar-button:end:increment {
width: 50%;
display: block;
background: transparent;
}
But now the problem is that the scrollbar is not in middle, but on the left side. Margin:auto doesn't help. No idea how else to do it.
Also making img size 90% revealed the caption which is not that bad solution.
Now the only question is how to put the scroll bar in the centre.
Here is something close to the image you provided as an example. Sorry, but I really don't know how this can be achieved respecting the Pure HTML + CSS without JS criteria. I think it isn't possible at all.
So here, it uses jQuery and jQuery-ui draggable.
It uses a draggable div contained within its parent. Ondrag, it calculates the "scrolled" percentage to apply it to the scrollable width of the image slider.
For mobiles... I added the "touch punch" patch for jQuery-ui. More details about it here. I also placed the "initialisation code" in a function, so it can run on load AND on resize.
$(document).ready(function(){
function initDisplay(){
let slide_scrollWidth = $("#slide")[0].scrollWidth;
let customScrollbar_width = $("#sliderScroll_outer")[0].scrollWidth;
let percent = slide_scrollWidth/customScrollbar_width
$("#sliderScroll").css({"width":percent+"%", "left":0})
$("#slide")[0].scrollTo(0,0)
}
// On page load
initDisplay()
// Useful for mobile orientation change
window.onresize = initDisplay
$("#sliderScroll").draggable({
containment: "#sliderScroll_outer",
scroll: false,
drag: function(e){
let parentOffset = $(e.target).parent().offset().left
let offset = $(e.target).offset().left
let scrollableWidth = $(e.target).parent().width() - $(e.target).width()
let sliderPercent = (offset-parentOffset)/scrollableWidth
//console.log(sliderPercent)
let imageSliderWidth = $("#slide")[0].scrollWidth - $("#slide").width()
//console.log(imageSliderWidth)
$("#slide")[0].scrollTo(sliderPercent*imageSliderWidth,0)
}
});
});
#container{
margin: 1em;
}
#slide{
display: flex;
overflow: hidden;
}
#slide img{
margin: 0 0.5em;
}
#sliderScroll_outer{
width: 40vw;
background: lightgrey;
margin: 1em;
}
#sliderScroll{
width: 0vw;
height: 10px;
background: green;
}
