How to scroll the content in the left and right direction on hitting an arrow in mobile view?

Question

I have a fiddle which is working in a way that when I take it in the mobile view, the square boxes horizontally scroll.

The CSS codes which I have used for that are:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px)
{
.product-all-contents
{
   overflow-x: auto;
}

.product-contents .product{
  min-width: 50.795%;
  margin: 0 2%;
  padding-top: 3.91%;
  padding-left: 3.91%;    
  padding-right: 3.91%;
  }
}

Problem Statement:

I am wondering what changes I should make in the fiddle so that when I hit arrows in the mobile view (as shown in the screenshot below marked by orange arrow sign) the content move towards the left and vice-versa.

I think best solution will be jQuery, scrollLeft() and scrollRight() but I am not sure how I can implement it in the fiddle.

Like a carousel or a "scroll until you let go"? Need more of a picture of what you want. — Phix, Jun 07 '18 at 01:06
@Phix something like [this](http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/) or close to that. — flash, Jun 07 '18 at 01:21
[Slick](http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/) is great if you have jQuery. — Phix, Jun 07 '18 at 01:53
@GerardoBLANCO I haven't added them. I am just confused how to proceed. Can you give me a pointer ? — flash, Jun 07 '18 at 13:31

For your problem you need a few things

Set two buttons to set the listeners in your code
Get the initial position so you can calculate the slide

let divMain = $('.product-all-contents')[0]; let position = $(divMain).children().position().left; const slideAmount = 150;

This 3 variables will be the main values for the code

Last make the listenes for the slide

$('#arrow-right').click(function() { $(divMain).animate({ scrollLeft: position + slideAmount }, 500); position += slideAmount; })

Hope this helps :>

$(document).ready(function() {
  let divMain = $('.product-all-contents')[0];
  let position = $(divMain).children().position().left;
  const slideAmount = 150;

  $('#arrow-right').click(function() {
    $(divMain).animate({
      scrollLeft: position + slideAmount
    }, 500);
    position += slideAmount;
  })

  $('#arrow-left').click(function() {
    $(divMain).animate({
      scrollLeft: position - slideAmount
    }, 500);
    position -= slideAmount;
  })
});

The first thing, I need to setup is an image for the arrows button. — flash, Jun 07 '18 at 19:36
Perfect, Please note that the preferred way of saying 'thanks' around here is by up-voting good questions and helpful answers, and by accepting the most helpful answer to any question you ask (which also gives you a small boost to your reputation). — Gerardo BLANCO, Jun 07 '18 at 19:38
So, I am able to place the arrows in the mobile view. Its not visible in the desktop view. Here is the [fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/8wzgsobz/45/embedded/result) I am wondering what changes I should I make in the fiddle now so `that 4 square boxes are visible in one go when the page load and when I hit right arrow button, 4 square boxes are visible again`. — flash, Jun 08 '18 at 05:17
You need to adjust the squares widths and the ``slideAmount`` constant in the code — Gerardo BLANCO, Jun 08 '18 at 12:24
Here is the updated [fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/8wzgsobz/48/embedded/result) The scroll (with left and right arrow) is working very slow here but I am able to show up in the mobile view which was my requirement. I am wondering what changes I need to make now so that if I hit on arrows, I can see good amount of speed in the horizontal scroll. — flash, Jun 11 '18 at 04:56
Well it is all in the combination of the ``slideAmount`` and the timer for the animate function — Gerardo BLANCO, Jun 11 '18 at 12:26
I am going to accept your answer. I will let you know if I have any question. — flash, Jun 12 '18 at 00:46
hi, I have posted a [question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50839233/line-break-in-html-table/50839358?noredirect=1#comment88682544_50839358) related to HTML. table. Although, I have received an answer. In the question, I have replicated a particular design. **The design is basically an email sent to the user so for that I have written HTML emails**. I have never coded HTML emails before so I am wondering if that is the right way to code html emails. Here is sample [fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/nyc8uhg2/13/embedded/result) — flash, Jun 13 '18 at 14:26
