Side scrolling a la BBC Android app

Featured Replies

I don't know if anyone here has seen the BBC Android app but basically each news section has its own independent horizontal scrolling window. I really like this but haven't quite figured out how to do it. Has anyone seen it? How does it work?

Thank you :)

Erm... and that means?

It should look something like this My link

Your link to the jquery lib is still pointing at your computer

 

try using this

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

I think I might reject this idea. It doesn't look so good on the mobile. I've been looking around for horizontal scrolling but can't really find anything. Have you seen the BBC app?

Yes, I have on an iPod Touch. Does something like this work with touch? http://codecanyon.net/item/jquery-horizontal-image-scroller-w-lightbox/112734

 

Try the demo and play with the options to remove the arrows and stuff. Sadly the demo is auto only but there must be something out there. Would just a div that is wider than the page width and with no scrollbars be touchable/scrollable?

Presumably I wouldn't need jquery/javascript to do this? Just use divs?
