Prevent window vertical scroll, until div's horizontal scroll reaches its end

Question

I have a page that scrolls normal (vertically) and I'd like to have a div that scrolls horizontally on mousewheel down, then resumes vertical scrolling once the horizontal scrolling is done. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish.

• Page scrolls normal (vertically)
• Once I reach a the div #scroll, I'd like the page scrolling to stop and I'd like the content inside #scroll to scroll vertically
• Once I scroll to the end of #scroll, I'd like the normal page scroll (vertically) to resume.

I have tried a few solutions but run in to the following problems

• When I horizontal the #scroll content the vertical page scroll doesn't stop
• When I stop the vertical scroll and get to the end of the horizontal scroll, I have to scroll like 50 times just to get out of that div.

Here's what I have so far...

var scroller = {};
scroller.e = document.getElementById("scroll");

if (scroller.e.addEventListener) {
    scroller.e.addEventListener("mousewheel", MouseWheelHandler, false);
    scroller.e.addEventListener("DOMMouseScroll", MouseWheelHandler, false);
} else scroller.e.attachEvent("onmousewheel", MouseWheelHandler);

function MouseWheelHandler(e) {

    // cross-browser wheel delta
    var e = window.event || e;
    var delta = - 30 * (Math.max(-1, Math.min(1, (e.wheelDelta || -e.detail))));

    var pst = $('#scroll').scrollLeft() + delta;

    if (pst < 0) {
        pst = 0;
    } else if (pst > $('.box-wrap').width()) {
        pst = $('.box-wrap').width();
    }

    $('#scroll').scrollLeft(pst);

    return false;
}


var toolbox = $('#scroll'),
    height = toolbox.height(),
    scrollHeight = toolbox.get(0).scrollHeight;

toolbox.off("mousewheel").on("mousewheel", function (event) {
  var blockScrolling = this.scrollTop === scrollHeight - height && event.deltaY < 0 || this.scrollTop === 0 && event.deltaY > 0;
  return !blockScrolling;
});

#wrap {
  max-width: 600px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#scroll {
    width: 600px;
    border: 1px solid #111;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    overflow-x: scroll;
    overflow-y: hidden;
}

.box-wrap{
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    height: 200px;
    width: 2040px;
}

.box {
    height: 200px;
    width: 200px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: #123;
    display: inline-block;
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 20px;
    text-align: center;
    line-height: 200px;
}

The problem with this solution is that the vertical page scroll doesn't stop when I get to the horizontal scroll section.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish what I want? If I'm not explaining this right please let me know.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You were almost there. Here's a blocker for your scroll:

$("#scroll").off("mousewheel").on("mousewheel", function(ev) {
  var el = $(ev.currentTarget);
  return ev.originalEvent.deltaY > 0
    ? el[0].scrollWidth - el.scrollLeft() <= el.innerWidth()
    : el.scrollLeft() === 0;
});

Updated pen.
To watch them, use this logger in the mousewheel event:

console.log(
  'ev.originalEvent.deltaY:', ev.originalEvent.deltaY,
  '\nel[0].scrollWidth:',el[0].scrollWidth, 
  '\nel.scrollLeft():', el.scrollLeft(), 
  '\nel.innerWidth()',el.innerWidth()
);

Answer 2

For making the #scroll div stick to the page, don't stop the normal vertical scrolling. Instead, increase the top position of the div so that it looks like the #scroll div is staying in the same position.

I wrapped the portion that needs to stick inside a #fixedSec.

Also, to make the .box-wrap div scroll with the vertical window scroll, use the scrollTop() function, and then translate your .box-wrap accordingly.

The codepen link is this.

Below is code.

var scroller = {};
var topSpace = $('#topHeading').height();
const scrollWidth = $('.box-wrap').width();
console.log($(window).width());

scroller.e = document.getElementById("scroll");
$(window).scroll(function(event) {
  var scroll = $(window).scrollTop();

  if (scroll > 785 && ((765 - scroll) > ($(window).width() - $(".box-wrap").width()))) {


    var scrollPos = scroll - 770;
    $('#fixedSec').css({
      'top': scrollPos + "px"
    })
    $('.box-wrap').css('transform', 'translateX(' + (755 - scroll) + 'px)');



  }


});

h1 {
  width: 500px;
}

#wrap {
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#fixedSec {
  position: relative;
}

#scroll {
  width: 100vw;
  border: 1px solid #111;
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  overflow-y: hidden;
}

.box-wrap {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
  height: 200px;
  width: 2040px;
}

.box {
  height: 200px;
  width: 200px;
  padding: 0px;
  background: #123;
  display: inline-block;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 200px;
}

Note

Even if you make the overflow of #scroll hidden, the solution will still work since its using the transform: translateX() function to horizontally scroll the .box-wrap. Personally, I'll make the overflow:hidden as the scroll bar looks ugly.

Hope this implementation works for you.
