Hi there i know i have brought this up before so please don’t shout at me!

Anyway i’ve been looking into iscroll 4 and using some of the features in my latest project. I noticed reading the docs for iscroll 4 you can have a horizontal scroll bar

var myScroll = new iScroll(‘wrapper’, { hScrollbar: true, vScrollbar: false });

We have the ability in mobione for a vertical scroll bar and set the scroll height, what would be uber cool would be to have also the option to set a horizontal width and have a scroll bar.

Also iscroll4 supports pinch and zoom……………..(runs away and quickly hides)

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

iScroll has a good api and continues to improve. With an eye towards the future we have been watching iscroll5 progress. Horizontal scrolling is more of a website-ish thing and has not been too high on the priority list. I have added this request to our feature tracking system from which we prioritize upcoming features.

Hi Octavio

Thanks for getting back to me. What i’m after is the ability to pan around an image which is larger than the iphone screen or when you rotate the screen into portrait mode. For me one of the basic and fundamental features of smartphone use is the ability to pan and zoom because of the screen real-estate. Like you do with google maps. Having both horizontal and vertical scroll bars active would maybe help??

Also having a horizontal scroll bar opens a lot more design options for screen layouts instead of using the traditional scrolling lists and panels. I don’t think its web site stuff at all.

check this free app out for awesome use of horizontal scrolls in the menu bar.

Hi Paul and Octavio,

I had also thought of using the same horizontal scroll bar for a menu instead of vertical scroll bar.

that would be looking very much of an advanced UI which MobiOne can create 🙂

Might be you need to make its priority level some what more.
