propagating scroll event to perfect-scrollbar


Consider a scenario when you have a responsive design, with 3 columns.

On desktop:

  • left menu
  • main column (whole page is scrollable)
  • right menu

On mobile:

  • top menu
  • main column (scrollable)
  • bottom menu

On desktop when scroll event occurs anywhere on the page - I would like to be able to scroll the content inside the content column. On mobile, we scroll the content within the main column itself.

Here is the example: https://jsfiddle.net/sf8m97L2/5/

So here comes my issue/question - is it possible somehow to propagate scroll events from anywhere on the page to the perfect-scrollbar target location (in my case, form body to the content column)?

Currently if the user wants to scroll the content in the main column the user has to hover the mouse over that area specifically. I would like to allow scrolling when the cursor is outside the default zone. Please check the fiddle.

Using latest version 1.5.5


Solution

  • You can use Sticky-sidebar to do what described.

    Of course, the scroll bar will not be in blocks, but in the main window, but you can scroll while holding the cursor at any position of the document
