JavaScript/jQuery ScrollView - Overview

The ScrollView is a UI component that enables a user to scroll its content.

View Demo

The following code adds a simple ScrollView to your page. The width and height properties specify the UI component size. By default, the ScrollView allows a user to scroll its content vertically. To change this behavior, use the direction property. Note that horizontal scrolling appears only if the content is wider than the ScrollView. Otherwise, the content adapts to the width of the ScrollView.

JavaScript
HTML
  • $(function() {
  • $("#scrollViewContainer").dxScrollView({
  • height: 500,
  • width: 500,
  • direction: 'both' // or 'horizontal' | 'vertical'
  • });
  • });
  • <div id="scrollViewContainer">
  • <!-- Here goes long content -->
  • </div>

The ScrollView employs native scrolling on most platforms, except desktops. To employ it on all platforms without exception, assign true to the useNative property. Note that if you assign false to this property, the ScrollView will simulate scrolling on all platforms.

JavaScript
HTML
  • $(function() {
  • $("#scrollViewContainer").dxScrollView({
  • useNative: true
  • });
  • });
  • <div id="scrollViewContainer"></div>

If simulated scrolling is used, you can specify when to show the scrollbar. For this purpose, use the showScrollbar property.

JavaScript
HTML
  • $(function() {
  • $("#scrollViewContainer").dxScrollView({
  • useNative: false,
  • showScrollbar: 'always' // or 'onScroll' | 'onHover' | 'never'
  • });
  • });
  • <div id="scrollViewContainer"></div>
