Question

How can I set left and right buttons on a DIV to scroll the content horizontally? I don’t need to display a scrollbar.

HMTL:

<div id="browser">
  <a href="#" id="left-button"><img src="left-button.jpg" /></a>
  <img src="thumb_1.jpg" />
  <img src="thumb_2.jpg" />
  <img src="thumb_3.jpg" /> 
  <img src="thumb_4.jpg" />
  <img src="thumb_5.jpg" />
  <img src="thumb_6.jpg" />
  <a href="#" id="right-button"><img src="right-button.jpg" /></a>
</div>

CSS:

#browser { float: left; width: 200px; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; }

Answer 1

Do:

<div id="browser">
  <a href="#" id="left-button"><img src="left-button.jpg" /></a>
  <div id="content">
      <img src="thumb_1.jpg" />
      <img src="thumb_2.jpg" />
      <img src="thumb_3.jpg" /> 
      <img src="thumb_4.jpg" />
      <img src="thumb_5.jpg" />
      <img src="thumb_6.jpg" />
  </div>
  <a href="#" id="right-button"><img src="right-button.jpg" /></a>
</div>

<script>
   $('#right-button').click(function() {
      event.preventDefault();
      $('#content').animate({
        marginLeft: "-=200px"
      }, "fast");
   });
</script>

Then the same for the left button, except – marginLeft: +=”200px”.
