custom scrollbar without jquery

Question

I'm looking for a custom scrollbar that works without jquery. I can't use jquery because the other stuff is also jqueryless and it's optimized for fast loading.

Would be grateful for any ideas shared with me.

Answer 1

If you don't want to use jQuery you could always attempt CSS (only works in WebKit).

JSFIDDLE

Example CSS:

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 15px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
   -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
   background-color: #000000;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
   border-radius: 10px;
   -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
   background-color: #555555;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button {
   -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
   background-color: #000000;
   background-image: url(dark/light-blue/images/ui-icons_0990fb_256x240.png);
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:increment {
   background-position: -64px -16px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:decrement {
   background-position: 0 -16px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button:horizontal:increment {
   background-position: -32px -16px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button:horizontal:decrement {
   background-position: -96px -16px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
   background-color: #000000;
}

If you want multiple browser support you'll want to use jQuery or write your own custom javascript code with appending a div for the scrollbar and adding Event Handlers to know when you scroll.

Answer 2

Ok, for peoples who are looking also for a nice scrollbar without dependencies:

You can use IScroll if you need a bit more than just a scrollbar or the Gemini Scrollbar, which is absolutely amazing and uses native scrolling behaviour.
