scroll to element in horizontal div
$.scrollTo is your friend:
$(container).scrollTo(target)
Or you could use the following snippet:
$('.scrollable').animate({scrollLeft: $('#dstElement').position().left}, 500);
Where position()
returns the #dstElement
's relative position to `.scrollable' if scrollable is positioned.
Code & Demo
var $scroller = $('.scroller');
// assign click handler
$('button').on('click', function () {
// get the partial id of the div to scroll to
var divIdx = $('input').val();
// retrieve the jquery ref to the div
var scrollTo = $('#d'+divIdx)
// change its bg
.css('background', '#9f3')
// retrieve its position relative to its parent
.position().left;
console.log(scrollTo);
// simply update the scroll of the scroller
// $('.scroller').scrollLeft(scrollTo);
// use an animation to scroll to the destination
$scroller
.animate({'scrollLeft': scrollTo}, 500);
});
