Pretty much whats in the title. I am trying to make those circular buttons to be horizontal scrollable. I also would like to provide some kind of feedback to the user whether there is more to scroll to either direction, so I am trying to do it via the overlay. As of now, the overlays seem to be moving when scrolling, I would like it to stick to the sides of the circular buttons.
Here is the code I tried:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Scrollable Circular Buttons</title>
<style>
/* Custom styles */
.scrollable-div {
position: relative;
width: 50%;
overflow-x: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 10px 0;
margin-bottom: 20px;
/* Hide the scrollbar */
scrollbar-width: none;
}
.scrollable-div::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none; /* WebKit (Safari, Chrome) */
}
.circular-btn {
display: inline-block;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
border-radius: 50%;
background-color: #007bff; /* Bootstrap primary color */
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
line-height: 40px;
margin-right: 5px; /* Reduced margin */
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 16px;
}
.scroll-overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 50px; /* Adjust as needed */
pointer-events: none; /* Allow clicks to pass through */
}
.scroll-overlay-left {
left: 0;
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), transparent);
}
.scroll-overlay-right {
right: 0;
background: linear-gradient(to left, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), transparent);
}
.selected {
background-color: #28a745 !important; /* Bootstrap success color */
}
</style>
</head>

Thanks!
You need 2 container div for this. First one which does not scroll and another which does. Your overlap will be absolute to parent one. Here is JSBIn
