Overflow auto (horizontal scroll) with previous and next button
When designing horizontally scrollable sections on desktop, it's smart to add forward and backward buttons as a backup. Not all users are able to scroll horizontally. My provided code lets you seamlessly add such buttons in Webflow, conveniently controlled via attributes. So if a visitor's mouse can only scroll vertically, they can still control a section you've set to overflow auto using the buttons.
Additionally, the buttons automatically gray out once the list has been fully scrolled through. And it always scrolls exactly as far as one item in the horizontally scrollable list is wide. This value is automatically picked up from an attribute you set in Webflow.
Benefits of this solution:
- Accessibility: The buttons offer an accessible alternative for users who have difficulty scrolling horizontally.
- Usability: The buttons increase usability by offering an additional navigation option.
- Improved navigation: Users can comfortably switch between sections without needing precise horizontal scrolling.
- Consistency: The buttons provide a consistent user experience across different devices.
- Flexibility: The ability to customize the position and design of the buttons allows for seamless integration into your website's design.
- Easy implementation: The provided code and attributes enable straightforward integration of the buttons into your Webflow website.
The combination of intuitive navigation, accessibility, and customizability makes this solution ideal for ensuring all users can easily navigate between horizontally scrollable sections.
